The Los Angeles Lakers were upset big time by a previously winless Oklahoma City Thunder squad.
Russell Westbrook was in no mood after the loss as OKC's Darius Bazley dunked the ball in the game's final seconds. Russ garnered his second technical of the game after jawing over the play, which led to his ejection.

The Lakers were on the second night of a back-to-back on the road and were clearly dealing with some fatigue towards the end of this one.
After storming out to a 41-19 lead to end the first quarter, the Thunder turned the tables on them with steady contributions from all around the roster. The Thunder had six players in double-figures, including a 27-point outing from frontman Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
The Lakers were led by Anthony Davis' 30 points and eight rebounds. Westbrook had a productive night on the box score with a 20-point, 14-rebound, 13-assist triple-double, but he also had 10 turnovers on the evening for an ignominious quadruple-double stat line.
Most quadruple-hobbles (triple-double with 10 turnovers) since 1985:
6 — Russell Westbrook
3 — James Harden
1 — 6 players tied pic.twitter.com/dyFNASfGxy— StatMuse (@statmuse) October 28, 2021
The Lakers were still without LeBron James, who continues to nurse his injured ankle. They'll have a chance to regroup on Friday night when they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
