The Oklahoma City Thunder had a night full of season highs last night as they dominated the Los Angeles Lakers 133-96. It was a stark contrast of play compared to the last couple of games, and the Thunder looked as good as they have all season.

The Los Angeles Clippers have had an interesting season so far. After starting the season 4-0, the Clippers took a downturn as they lost 11 of their next 12. Since being 5-12, however, the Clippers have gone 12-7, and despite still dealing with injuries, they are on the brink of breaking into playoff contention in the West.
