Oklahoma City Thunder completed a dominant 4-0 sweep over the Los Angeles Lakers with a 115-110 victory, ending the Lakers’ NBA playoff campaign and potentially marking the final game of LeBron James’ legendary career.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander starred with 35 points as the defending champions advanced to the Western Conference finals. James finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds, but the Lakers could not overcome Oklahoma City’s balanced attack. The 41-year-old NBA icon is out of contract after the season and has yet to confirm whether he will return for a 24th campaign.
Injuries to Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves hurt the Lakers’ playoff hopes.
