Doncic booted out as Thunder zap Lakers

Cavs are No.1 seed, Wells falls horribly

- 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 42 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder bounced back to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers 126-120 on Tuesday in a hard-fought battle that saw Luka Doncic controversially ejected in the fourth quarter.

Two days after suffering a 27-point defeat to the Lakers, the No. 1-seeded Thunder avenged that thanks to Gilgeous-Alexander's 13th 40-point game of the season, with Jalen Williams adding 26 and Lugentz Dort 17.

The contest, knotted in the fourth quarter, intensified, that led to the Lakers' Slovenian star Doncic picking up a second technical foul and being tossed from the game.

Doncic was ejected following a late-called charging foul which got the Lakers 109-107 up until coach J.J Redick after officiating crew member FT Orr judged he had been verbally abused by the player following the bucket.
