The Los Angeles Lakers return to the court at the NBA Bubble on Wednesday afternoon as they play the front end of their last back-to-back of the season, against Chris Paul and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The stakes are pretty low for the Lakers after clinching the No. 1 seed in the West, but head coach Frank Vogel said he’s still looking for the team to improve and he is not yet planning on resting key players. As for the Thunder, they are still locked into a battle for playoff seeding and are coming off a close overtime loss against the Denver Nuggets. Chris Paul’s missed free-throw with seconds to go in regulation loomed large in the final result.
