James and Russell stopped the bleeding for the Lakers, but the Lakers' overall offense was still average, and the team still ended with 11; 21 behind! However, then the Thunder's offense suddenly became dumb, and the Lakers took advantage of the situation to play a 14:3 offensive wave and tied the score in the first quarter! The Thunder's offense in the second quarter was still bad, especially the core Alexander's terrible hand, which made the Thunder only score 18 points in the whole quarter! The Lakers are also not polite, Russell is on the outside, the thick eyebrows are on the inside, and the Lakers opened a 9-point gap at halftime!

Yibian fought again, and the Thunder's offense finally picked up, Dort and Keady both contributed on the offensive end, and Alexander also began to score! But the Lakers' offense was obviously more fierce, and after talking to the Thunder, they directly blasted out a 14:0, offensive climax, and took a 17-point lead in the third quarter! In the final quarter, the Thunder launched a Jedi counterattack, Wiggins, Wallace, and Muscala kept catching up, but Russell and Prince didn't give a chance at all, and the two teamed up to hit 6 3-pointers in the half quarter, and the difference was widened to more than 20 points, and the game lost suspense early, and the Lakers won the Thunder 116:104, breaking out a big upset!
