2011 Los Angles Was Beat by Oklahoma City Thunder

For recent games, the Lakers had fierce battles with Thunder ahead of the NBA play-off season. The Lakers had lost continuously for 5 consecutive battles. The last time they lost games like this is in 2007, a bad season to Lakers. This is a bad symptom for the champion NBA team, that means, they are going wrong way and need to make some adjustment. As the bad performance, this team will have no chance to be the top in Western Conference. Be the top of Western Conference will guarantee them home-court advantage in the first two rounds of the playoffs.Currently the Lakers are the second strong team in Western Conference together with the Dallas Mavericks. Oklahoma City Thunder is just behind these two traditional strong NBA team. Kobe Bryant scored 31 points for the Lakers, but these points is not of so great use. Kevin Durant leaded the Thunder and scored 31 points. But also, we can not neglect the role of other players, such as Russell Westbrook, also be young in the Thunder and scored 26 points, six rebounds and seven assists.Lakers played harder until the third quarter, but this did not continue at the last quarter. During the third quarter, the Lakers even be 2 points lead and come into the fourth quarter. This was of great use for the reason that Lakers allowed Oklahoma City to score 36 points in the first and 30 points in the second quarters. Ron Artest gave the Lakers a lift by scoring six points during the quarter.At the end of first half, the battle is Thunder 66, Lakers 64. When the Lakers are 12 points behind the, that seems this team need some power to make this situation better. Kobe Bryant and Perkins get technical foul for they push each other and also fight. Even when the officials stepped between Bryant and Perkins, they continued to glare at each other.The key stat to the game was the fourth quarter score: Thunder 32, Lakers 16. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers are of good performance. The leading situation changed as they entered into fourth quarter, two young superstars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook exploded and lead Thunder exposed the aging Lakers. They scored nine of the team's final 16 points.If you watch NBA playoffs last season, the Lakers also tried to bet the Thunder at the sixth games, which means it is struggle for Lakers. The Lakers win the first, second, fifth and sixth games, Thunder win the third and fourth games. In the condition that these two teams meet in 2011, they would beat harder and it is easy to guess the result.The NBA teams had changed so much, weak team become with talented players, strong team become weak with the old age. The NBA is more interesting when the Lakers make some wrong directions and the Championship is not certain.
