The Lakers fell eight games behind Oklahoma City after losing to the Thunder, 102-93, on the night Fisher returned to play against his former teammates.
A volume of stories could be written on the differences between the teams, but it was condensed Thursday to the ridiculous speed of Russell Westbrook.
The former UCLA guard had 36 points and six assists, clearly outplaying Ramon Sessions, the point guard the Lakers acquired the same day they traded Fisher.
The third-quarter scoring was all that needed to be known. The Lakers had 19 points, Westbrook had 17.

Young conceded he was in position to drive to the basket
Thaddeus Young or Elton Brand or Jrue Holiday or any other player on a roster full of players unequipped to sink a big-time shot.
In fact, shortly after Iguodala's airball, Young, who had rallied the Sixers back into the game by scoring nine of his 17 points in a 1 1/2-minute surge in the fourth, missed a 16-footer that would have drawn the Sixers even with 39.8 seconds left.
Young conceded he was in position to drive to the basket but instead settled for the jumper.
"I don't even know where to start," coach Doug Collins said after the Sixers lost for the seventh time in nine games. "It just seems like it's been the same old script here at home against these really good teams.
