Reuters - Sports - For the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers, their matchup Monday night was irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. The fact that the Thunder won 112-79 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena was not going to get them any closer to winning the NBA title or knock the Lakers out of playoff contention. However, with it being the final road game in the 20-year career of Kobe Bryant, the night was treated with all the pomp and circumstance of a postseason encounter.
