The Oklahoma City Thunder play the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The 8-16 Thunder, winners of two straight, return home to take on the 13-13 Lakers. The Thunder seem to be kryptonite for the Lakers as the young squad has gone 2-0 against the accomplished veterans. The highlight play of the season so far for the Thunder came in the second matchup between these teams last month — where star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit a logo three at Staples Center that quickly put his name out there for those who did not know about the young star guard already.
Being a small market star makes it tough for someone to build name recognition. One way to overcome that is hitting a deep three against a team like the Lakers that sealed the game.
