Share on RSS

 

The Oklahoma City Thunder broke out the brooms again, as the Thunder swept the LA Lakers early on Tuesday morning to move on to the Western Conference Finals.

OKC hung on over LA 115-110 in the diciest game of the series.

The Thunder trailed with less than a minute left until a Chet Holmgren dunk with 32 seconds remaining out Oklahoma City on top for good. The Thunder subsequently forced a Lebron James missed shot on a drive and after OKC free throws an Austin Reeves miss on a three to hold on.

It was the biggest scoring night of the series for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who had 35, two of which came on this jumper late in the second. 

Ajay Mitchell continued his surge with 28 point. Holmgren added 16.

OKC will have at least a week off and awaits the winner between the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves. That series will go six games at a minimum.

Game five on Tuesday from San Antonio with the set tied at 2-2.
