Los Angeles Lakers @ Oklahoma City Thunder – Sunday, December 20 (5:00 PM ET)
The Kobe farewell tour continues.
This will be Kobe Bryant’s last game in Oklahoma City, if he indeed retries after this season. If that’s not enough to make you tune in, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are catching fire right now. Regardless of their team’s record, if those two are on the same court, it’ll be a show.
With all the attention on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, especially in the Western Conference, you can bet that KD and RW know that they are somewhat operating behind the curtain. They want to make sure you don’t forget that the Thunder, too, will have a say in who comes out of the West.

Don’t just assume that we’ll have a Spurs-Warriors Western Conference Finals. The Thunder are right there with them, when they are playing their best. I’ll have my front row ticket … through League Pass, of course.
