Although at first glance this result seems unbelievable, things become clearer when you know that the Lakers played without five players who together average nearly 100 pointsโ€”Luka Donฤiฤ‡, LeBron James, Austin Reaves, Marcus Smart, and Jaxson Hayes. In their absence, Rui Hachimura led the Lakers with 15 points, while Drew Timme and Nick Smith each scored 11 points. For Oklahoma, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 25 points with 8 assists, while Chet Holmgren recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Boston defeated Charlotte 113โ€“102, and with the return of Nikola Vuฤeviฤ‡ to the rotation, Luka Garza remained on the bench and did not enter the game. Boston was led to victory by Jalen Brown with 35 points, while on the other side, LaMelo Ball scored 36 points.
