Lakers Face Thunder in Second Round

After defeating the Rockets in six games, the Los Angeles Lakers face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round, starting May 5. The Thunder, the league’s best team, have dominated their previous matchups against the Lakers, winning all four meetings this season, including decisive victories even against full-strength lineups. With Luka Dončić’s return uncertain, the Lakers head into the series with challenges ahead, but the matchup promises to be exciting nonetheless.
