The Lakers are fighting for survival tonight as the Oklahoma City Thunder look to complete a sweep in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals. Down 3-0, LA needs a miracle at home. Here's everything you need to know about the matchup.
What Happened So Far
The Thunder have been unstoppable in the playoffs, going 7-0 with blowout wins. They took Games 1 and 2 in OKC comfortably and dominated Game 3 in LA 131-108. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the young OKC core, including standout performances from Ajay Mitchell, have exposed the injury-depleted Lakers.
LeBron James and Austin Reaves have kept LA competitive at times, but the Thunder's depth and pace have proven too much. Luka Doncic's absence has hurt the Lakers badly.
Why It Matters
A loss tonight ends the Lakers' season. For LeBron, it could be the end of an era in LA as he heads into free agency. For the Thunder, a sweep moves them one step closer to back-to-back titles as defending champions. This game is must-watch basketball for any NBA fan.
