Lakers play like champs, thump Thunder 111-87

LOS ANGELES -- The defending champions finally showed up to Staples Center on Tuesday night, fashionably late as always. They limped in looking old and tired and beaten. They sprinted out looking unstoppable. The Lakers, convalescent compared to the puckish Oklahoma City Thunder, seemed to find their legs all at once. They led 10-0 after four minutes. They led by 20 in the second quarter. They led by 30 in the third. Whether the Lakers go on to repeat as champions is anybody's guess, but in a 111-87 thumping of the Thunder in Game 5, they at least showed they are still capable.
