| Final - 4.22.2012 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | OT 1 | OT 2 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma City Thunder | 26 | 26 | 25 | 14 | 6 | 9 | 106 |
| Los Angeles Lakers | 20 | 27 | 14 | 30 | 6 | 17 | 114 |
In a wild and intense game, the Lakers erased a 17 point deficit in the fourth quarter to win in overtime, but the victory was marred by an ugly Metta World Peace elbow to the head of James Harden. Thunder stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined to miss 42 shots as Oklahoma City gave away a big lead and a chance at the best record in the West.
If the Thunder beat the Lakers, the Clippers will take over first place in the Pacific Division, where they'll stay if they can win out
Three games until the playoffs. Everyone's excited, and ready to roll. But the Thunder still haven't won a game against a playoff team since April 1st. The Lakers are the Thunder's final matchup against a legitimate playoff contender this season, and it's a huge statement game.
