Kobe Bryant was in impressive form on Monday night and he did everything he could to get the Lakers team back into this series. However he could not do it all on his own as the Lakers lost the series 4-1.

OKC had the three of Harden, Westbrook and Durant scoring for fun too, 17,28 and 25 points respectively. Scott Brooks said of his team: “Our guys did a good job focusing on the defensive end. If we don’t play defense, no matter how well we play on offense we’re not gonna be successful. Perk, Serge and Nick were the Big 3 tonight they all battled, they’ve always been our unsung heroes.”

Lakers players Bryant said: “Oklahoma (City) really blitzed us there at the start of the fourth. It was tough to watch to say the least. We had the game under control but this team (the Thunder) is very explosive all of a sudden they go on an 8-0 run
