On Sunday afternoon, the Thunder and Lakers met in Oklahoma City for their second matchup of the season.

The game had few implications for Oklahoma City, who has long had the No. 1 seed locked up. Los Angeles, however, is amid a fiery battle in the middle of Western Conference, and the on-court product reflected those two things on Sunday.

The Lakers took it OKC early and never looked back, coasting on a historically efficient shooting night to win 126-99. Luka Doncic got nearly anything he wanted offensively, adding a quick 30 points in just 36 minutes. Austin Reaves followed with 20, and LeBron James 19.

It was the Thunder’s first back-to-back loss of the season, as they were crushed by 14 points in Houston just days ago. Having suffered two losses in a row, both by double-digits, no less, social media certainly had reactions.

Here’s how Twitter, now known as X, reacted to the game:

Thunder defense definitely not been as sharp as it needs to be but credit to the Lakers also just making some absurd threes lmao

Cut it down a bit before half, very curious to see if LA stays nuclear coming into the third

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?

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

The narratives that are going to come out of this Thunder/Lakers game will be interesting lol

Guys I just can’t get worked up over a regular season game in April where the Lakers are shooting uncharacteristically and historically hot

It sucks because of everything that comes with it, but look at the context lol I’m not moved
