Random Tidbits and Notes

If Damian Lillard keeps it up, he and LaMarcus Aldridge are going to steal MVP votes from each other…The Thunder would rather not see eight turnovers from Russell Westbrook, but if he’s putting up 21-13-8, they’ll deal with it…Not to knock the Lakers, but do the top teams feel encouraged about beating bottom feeders by a slim margin? (SPOILER: They don’t)…Was nice to see Andre Iguodala back, even though he was awfully rusty…The Kings got the full Rudy Gay experience, although he left the game injured.
