Game Grades: Lakers Late Rally Not Enough Against Thunder

MVP: Jeremy Lin, who sparked the Lakers big fourth quarter comeback. If not for his aggressive play, the Lakers lethargic mood on the night would have seen Oklahoma City run away in the fourth.

LVP: Kobe Bryant. Even his 8 assists and 8 rebounds couldn’t escape his 3 of 15 shooting tonight, including bricking the game-winner. Byron Scott deserves a load of the blame for wearing him down this quickly.

Stat of the Night: 28 assists. The Lakers again shared the ball tonight, finishing with five players having at least 3 assists. Great team effort tonight.
