OKC rides Holmgren’s all-around game and strong guard depth to a 125-107 Game 2 win over the Lakers, taking a 2-0 series lead as LA’s turnovers and Thunder second-chance points help decide the game; LeBron James played in his 300th playoff game.
The Lakers need Austin Reaves to bounce back from a 3-for-16 Game 1 and provide scoring alongside LeBron, Hachimura and Ayton, while OKC’s depth continues to pressure them. Expect a sharper, less rusty SHAI Gilgeous-Alexander in Game 2 as the Thunder try to maintain control, and for the Lakers to lean on additional contributors and better shot quality.
