Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Los Angeles Lakers 125-107 in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal, seizing a 2-0 series lead. Chet Holmgren (22 points) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (22 points) led the charge, with Holmgren’s three-pointer and foul on Jaylin Williams extending the lead to 14 points in the third quarter. The Lakers, missing star forward Luka Doncic (hamstring) and reserve Jarred Vanderbilt (injured pinkie), struggled defensively, allowing a 32-15 Thunder run when Gilgeous-Alexander exited.

Austin Reaves shone with 31 points, but foul trouble and missed opportunities sealed the loss.
