Everyone sweats at least a little bit in the sweltering Las Vegas heat.
That includes the Los Angeles Lakers, who looked like they were going to cruise to a dominant win to begin NBA Summer League play in Sin City on Friday.
But the OKC Thunder cranked up the temperature down the stretch, trimming a 20-point deficit to just nine with 2:23 remaining. And the man who caught fire was Bennett Stirtz, who torched the nets for eight points during the fourth quarter.
Los Angeles stayed cool under pressure, though. It ultimately earned a 96-84 win thanks in large part to Adou Thiero, who stuffed the stat sheet with 20 points, four rebounds, four ****** ists, three steals and two blocks.
OKC is now 0-4 in Summer League play, including its time in Salt Lake City. Next up is a game against the Golden State Warriors at 5 p.m. CT Sunday (Prime Video).
