Westbrook, Thunder capitalize on Lakers' sloppy play

Mark D. Smith / USA TODAY Sports

The Oklahoma City Thunder have no reservations about kicking an opponent when they're down.

On Saturday, the flood gates opened early as Russell Westbrook found big man Steven Adams on a stellar alley-oop connection.

On the ensuing possession, Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Lou Williams regrettably tried to execute a similar play with Robert Sacre - an attempt resulting in a messy turnover leading to another quick scoring opportunity for the Thunder.

Oklahoma City's bench - Cameron Payne in particular - enjoyed Westbrook's breakaway smash.
