OKC Falls to Last Place in Western Conference

The Oklahoma City Thunder suffered a devastating blow to their playoff hopes on Tuesday night, falling to the last place in the Western Conference after a crushing defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Thunder have now lost six straight games and are just 12-18 on the season.

The Thunder were led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who scored 22 points, but the rest of the team struggled to find their footing. The Thunder shot just 40% from the field and 25% from three-point range. The Lakers, on the other hand, were led by LeBron James, who scored 31 points.

The loss leaves the Thunder with a daunting task if they want to make the playoffs. The Thunder are now three games behind the eighth-place Sacramento Kings with just 20 games remaining in the regular season.
