Mini-Podcast: Lakers Beat the Thunder 116-95 and LeBron James Was Done Screwing Around - a podcast by Locked On Podcast Network, Anthony Irwin

After Thursday's exceptionally frustrating loss in Memphis, it was imperative, both pragmatically and psychologically, for the Lakers to prevent an even more demoralizing loss in Oklahoma City. While that shouldn't seem like a particularly tall order, between the Lakers' inconsistencies and knowing they've already lost twice to these guys, a win was hardly guaranteed. Especially with Anthony Davis missing the contest with a sore knee.

Unless, of course, LeBron James says "Hell no" to the concept of losing to OKC, and plays in such a decisive manner on both sides of the ball that there was simply no way the Lakers would lay an egg. Which was the case. He played with the body language of a man more than willing to handle the opposition by himself, but thankfully, he got some strong assistance from Avery Bradley and Austin Reaves to help put the Lakers over the top. Where things go from here, who knows with this team? But for now, the bleeding has stopped. On to the next.Also, there was a cool milestone for DeAndre Jordan!
