The Oklahoma City Thunder have swept the Lakers, extending their playoff win streak to eight, and securing their spot in the Western Conference finals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ajay Mitchell led the scoring, with Chet Holmgren sealing the victory. The Thunder adapted to the Lakers aggressive double-teams, setting up high-low plays and traps that proved effective. Theyre now aiming for their first repeat title since the Warriors in 2017 and 2018, with the next challenge being either the Spurs or Timberwolves.
