NBA

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (AP) – Brook Lopez scored 20 points, Julius Randle added 19 and the visiting Los Angeles Lakers sent the Oklahoma City Thunder to their fourth straight loss, 108-104 on Sunday.

Jordan Clarkson scored 18 points and Brandon Ingram added 16 for the Lakers, who have won six of eight.

Russell Westbrook scored 36 points and Paul George added 26 for the Thunder. Oklahoma City had won eight in a row before its current skid.

The Lakers, who played their 10th straight game without point guard Lonzo Ball, who has a sore left knee, were up 82-79 after three quarters and pushed the lead to 12 before a late rally by the Thunder came up a little short.
