Oklahoma City at Los Angeles

This is a big early-season game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the LA Lakers. The Thunder have played well all season and have won three straight to move to 14-4, which is good enough for 1st place in the NBA West. The Lakers have been up and down all season. The Lakers finally won at the expense of the San Antonio Spurs, a young, talented team that will be heard from soon. That snapped a three game losing streak by LA. Oklahoma City has won three straight games and just took down Golden St. on the road. They have a lot of momentum and will need to show LA they are on top for a reason. The Thunder is just more talented and youthful. I like Oklahoma City in this one.
