The veteran shakes off an early ankle injury and logs 26 points and six assists as the Lakers survive a night without LeBron James, Anthony Davis or D’Angelo Russell, 123-117.
OKLAHOMA CITY — How much did it matter? Dennis Schröder was willing to bite down and take a beating to win.
In the third quarter, the German guard picked up his shooting after a 1-for-7 start, then tumbled to the court when he felt Jalen Williams’ screen at his back, drawing a charge. In the fourth, he fell atop Joe, wrestling for a loose ball.
It came on a night when the Lakers decided to rest Davis on the second night of a back-to-back, itself a risk in a playoff chase that has so far seen them on the wrong side of the playoff cut. They managed to create more separation between themselves and the Thunder, who have sunk to 13th place.
