Davis has 37 points and 14 rebounds, Dennis Schröder scores 13 of his 21 in the second half and Lonnie Walker adds 20 points as the Lakers get a vital victory for their playoff hopes, 116-111.
LOS ANGELES — For the first time this season, the Lakers have won as many games as they’ve lost.
Making a start for D’Angelo Russell , Dennis Schröder had critical baskets in the fourth quarter, none bigger than a midrange jumper to put the Lakers ahead by five with a minute-and-a-half left. Lonnie Walker IV, who had been a healthy scratch in three straight games, exploded off the bench for 20 points on 7-for-12 shooting – his highest point total in a month. Austin Reaves – with 60 points in his previous two games – added 11 points and nine assists.
But workmanlike defense helped gut out the win, with Davis patrolling the paint and directing double-teams against the Thunder stars. The Lakers made four free throws in the final minute to seal it. But the Lakers found additional offensive firepower, too. Malik Beasley and Walker rained down from behind the arc coming off the bench, helping the Laker reserves outpace their Thunder counterparts 33-15 in the first half alone.
