The defending champs are one win away from making it back to the Western Conference Finals, putting the Lakers on the brink of a brutal end to their season.<\/p>\n

For the third consecutive game, the Lakers simply had no chance to deal with the depth and firepower of the Thunder. Seven different players scored double digits for OKC, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 23 points, while Ajay Mitchell led the scoring and playmaking department with 24 markers and 10 dimes.<\/p>\n

Rui Hachimura had 21 points, while LeBron James only tallied 19.<\/p>\n

With James and the Lakers set to suffer from a four-game sweep as the Thunder’s invincible run continues, the NBA social media world can’t be more active enough to throw reactions.<\/p>\n
