For the second time this season, the OKC Thunder and L.A. Lakers faced off on Tuesday. Luka Doncic and the Lakers had their best game of the season in a dominant 126-99 win.
The OKC Thunder had nothing to lose on Sunday, but the Lakers are still fighting for playoff seeding and it showed. After OKC’ second straight double-digit loss, social media users had a lot to say.

55 Points in 15 minutes against the Thunder doesn't feel mathematically possible.

RELATED: Luka Doncic shines in Lakers’ blowout win over top-seeded OKC Thunder
OKC has the NBA's No. 1 defense and best offense since Feb. 1. They were 8.5-point favorites over the Lakers today. And LA just made 15-20 3s, scored most pts in a 1st half all season vs OKC and lead 78-56 at half. Lakers have their number.

The Lakers are looking like a team on a mission.
Los Angeles leads OKC 78-56 on the road at the half behind 37 combined from Doncic and Reaves.
Lakers are shooting 63.6% FG and 68.2 3P% vs. Thunder’s 45.7 FG% and 38.9 3P%.
Are teams starting to figure OKC out?
