Oklahoma City Thunder has some work to do. It is now 0-4 on the season after it blew a 16-point second half lead to fall 101-95 against Boston Celtics at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Thursday.
The Celtics went the entire first half without making a 3-pointer, but came out in the third and hit nine while dropping 40 points and taking a one-point lead into the final 12 minutes.
The Thunder got the lead back for parts of the final quarter, but was unable to fend off the Celtics, who outscored Oklahoma City 67-45 in the second half.
A Marcus Morris 3-pointer gave the Celtics a 98-95 lead with less than 30 seconds to play which ultimately put the game out of reach for the Thunder. Oklahoma City scored just one point in the final 4:14 of the game.
LeBron James posted his first triple-double as a Laker and led Los Angeles to a 121-114 win over the Nuggets. James starred with 28 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, recording his 74th career triple-double and his first since joining the Los Angeles squad.
He helped the Los Angeles Lakers move to 2-3 this season after its second straight win, which was also James' first as a Laker at Staples Center. The Lakers outscored the Nuggets 34-25 in the fourth quarter, inflicting Denver's first defeat of the season.
