@anthonyVslater 3:37 p.m. Russell Westbrook trying to honor Rajon Rondo with his current first half line: 1 point, 6 rebounds, 7 assists

@DarnellMayberry 3:38 p.m. @weelheel @bewsdad And yet the Thunder is ahead by three.

@DarnellMayberry 3:39 p.m. So Westbrook has seven assists so far and all anyone can talk about is he's 0-for-7. Smh.

@DarnellMayberry 3:41 p.m. RT @Greg_Evans @DarnellMayberry when he scores, they complain about how he should be a point. When he creates, he should score more. #Fans

@DarnellMayberry 3:42 p.m. Hey, look at that, nine assists for Westbrook.

@DarnellMayberry 3:45 p.m. Air-ball by Westbrook drops him to 0-for-8. He's got nine assists and seven boards in this first half, though.

@DarnellMayberry 3:45 p.m. Westbrook finally puts one in.

@anthonyVslater 3:46 p.m. At halftime, Russell Westbrook is on pace for 18 assists, 14 rebounds, 6 points, 4 airballs and a 2/18 shooting night. Awesome.

@DarnellMayberry 3:47 p.m. Thunder leads the Lakers 53-52 at halftime.

@anthonyVslater 3:48 p.m. Great half for the Thunder bench: 7/9 shooting for 14 points and eight rebounds in 32 efficient minutes.

@okcthunder 3:48 p.m. Halftime in Hollywood. #Thunder leads #Lakers 53-52. KD leads all w/18 pts. He told #ABC "In 2nd half, we have to keep our foot on the gas"

@DarnellMayberry 3:48 p.m. RT ‏@loplopol @DarnellMayberry if points keep Westbrook from a triple double.. I might go crazy (I guarantee you that's not going to happen)

@anthonyVslater 4:00 p.m. Three guys looking for second half triple-doubles: Kobe (6pt/7reb/6ast), Westbrook (3pt/7reb/9ast) and Ibaka (8pt/5reb/4blk).

@DarnellMayberry 4:04 p.m. RT @TaylorDick @DarnellMayberry everyone complains about him not being a good PG, but when he is & happens to be missing shots they hate it.

@anthonyVslater 4:09 p.m. Russell Westbrook with his 10th assist. Second time this year he's had double-digit dimes in back-to-back games.

@DarnellMayberry 4:11 p.m. Kobe Bryant and Russell Westbrook get into a shoving match. Kobe gets a tech.

@DarnellMayberry 4:16 p.m. Serge Ibaka is not having a good day.

@DarnellMayberry 4:17 p.m. The Thunder is losing its cool. Rarely do you see this happen. But the Lakers are getting under their skin.

@DarnellMayberry 4:18 p.m. @NBA_Ant I'd say shooting 50 percent and keeping this ball game tied is doing a lot.

@DarnellMayberry 4:23 p.m. Lakers fans think the refs have been terrible, and so do Thunder fans. What does that say?

@DarnellMayberry 4:27 p.m. @hiliteGENESIS If you saw Jay-Z's security guard you wouldn't even think about trying to get within 20 feet of him.

@DarnellMayberry 4:30 p.m. I feel like I'm watching Mark Jackson each time Kobe backs down Thabo.

@DarnellMayberry 4:31 p.m. Good foul by Liggins.

@DarnellMayberry 4:33 p.m. Through three, the Thunder and Lakers are tied at 75. Russell Westbrook and Kobe Bryant are both one rebound away from triple-doubles.

@anthonyVslater 4:33 p.m. Russell Westbrook with 10 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds after three quarters. Kobe with 15, 9 and 9. #TripleDoubleWatch

@okcthunder 4:36 p.m. Russell Westbrook 10 pts, 11 assists, 9 rebounds. Kevin Durant 28 pts. #Thunder and #Lakers tied at 75 headed to Q4. pic.twitter.com/1bpE8FXm
