With LeBron James and Anthony Davis out, Dennis Schroder scored 26 points to lift the Los Angeles Lakers to a 123–117 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, March 1, in Oklahoma City.
Also missing D’Angelo Russell (sprained right ankle),  the Lakers needed a balanced offensive effort and they got it to win for the fourth time in five games.
While Schroder led the way, six players scored at least 11 points for Los Angeles. Four players hit at least three 3-pointers, including four from Troy Brown Jr.
James missed his second consecutive game with a foot injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for several weeks….
