Without Lonzo Ball, the Lakers are hopeless
Lonzo Ball missed his second successive game due to a knee injury, and that was not great for the Lakers because the difference between the games he's on the court vs. off is noticeable. The Lakers are now 1-8 in games he sits out, with the only victory coming on Oct. 13 against the Clippers -- the third game of the season. The Lakers have been in trouble without their rookie guard, and the Thunder had no issues with them in a 114-90 blowout.
Harden, CP3, Griffin escape punishment
Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green were the only two players punished for the locker room incident that took place following the Clippers' home victory against the Rockets. James Harden, Chris Paul, and Blake Griffin all had roles throughout the game that led to the spillover, but the NBA didn't feel it was necessary to punish them for a variety of reasons.
Donovan Mitchell has another highlight dunk
