Lakers let the game go 101 to 96. Lakers lost a close one tonight but Kobe was nonexistent in the fourth. I would expect more from him next game. Huge disappointment for Laker fans and a new found hope for those in Oklahoma.

With a minute left in the game Lakers are down by a basket.

Kobe keeps chucking up threes and Oklahoma still leads 90 to 82. Their reign only continues as Westbrook lands another three. The crowd in Oklahoma goes wild as their team leads the 2009 champions 93 to 87.

The young Oklahoma team has gained their confidence and continues to lead the game. At 86 to 82 one has to say "What's going on with the Lakers?!" Kobe storms off the court pissed after getting blocked Durant.

The Thunders' long awaited lead comes at 10:57 in the fourth quarter. 75 to 76 with the Lakers trailing for the first time in the game. Kobe picks up his fourth personal foul. Oklahoma only increases the lead and the score is now 80 to 77. Bynum comes back and dunks to tighten the Thunder lead to 80 79.

3:11 to play with Odom missing the first free throw. He nails the second while Kobe sits out. Ron Artest looks on rocking some Laker pride in his hair. Offensive foul charge on Fischer.

At 5:52 in the third quarter, the score 64 to 56 Lakers. The Thunder has yet to catch up and pass the Laker lead. Both teams are playing well. Oklahoma narrows on the lead at 4:25 being six points behind. Lakers call a time out when Oklahoma makes a basket and minimizes the lead to four. For such a young team, Oklahoma is putting up a worthy fight.

Lakers on top by seven with 1:28 on the clock. Kobe Bryant with 14 points. As the time quickly winds down Oklahoma answers with a basket. Kobe goes for a three and misses. This ends the first half of the game with Laker lead of 50 to 43. The Lakers have led the whole time so far with the Thunder not so far behind. The game could go either way at this time.

With minutes left, Oklahoma narrows the lead to three. But Kobe Bryant comes back to make sure the Thunder don't get too comfortable and sinks two three pointers. Oklahoma comes back with two baskets and keeps the lead to four. As the Lakers try to come back with a shot, Oklahoma steals the ball and makes a basket. A commercial break ends Oklahoma's streak.

As the game continues the Thunder tries catch up to LA with the score of 36 to 28. The steam the Thunder had earlier seems to have died down a bit. LA continues to dominate 5:56 into the second quarter. A commercial break puts the game on hold.
