The Los Angeles Lakers hope to avoid their fate of the first two games against the Oklahoma City Thunder and hand Kevin Durant and company their first loss of the 2012 NBA playoffs tonight as game three gets underway in LA. That's a tall order for a team on the ropes, but the home venue has now changed and a team that's looked tired and outmatched hopes to bounce back. For Scott Brooks' team, it's about learning to capitalize on the momentum.
