OKLAHOMA CITY — The Lakers led by 12 by halftime thanks to 56.1 percent shooting (23-for-41).

In addition, he has the wing span of someone closer to 7-foot. Derek Fisher and Jordan Farmar added eight points apiece in the first half. Durant missed his first four shots, but finished the half by making 9 of his next 10 and scored 19 points.
