Oklahoma City has solidified its dominance in the postseason, pushing its unbeaten streak to 7-0 following a decisive victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3. The Thunder's latest triumph, a 131-108 rout, places them on the verge of advancing further into the Western Conference finals.
The decisive blow was struck in the third quarter, where Oklahoma City engineered a scoring surge that ultimately separated them from their opponents and secured the win.
Despite the absence of key player Jalen Williams, who remains sidelined with a hamstring strain, and the Lakers’ defensive focus on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, guard Ajay Mitchell emerged as a pivotal offensive force. Mitchell posted career playoff highs with 24 points and 10 assists, orchestrating the offense with remarkable effectiveness.
The Thunder's consistent offensive output was evident from the outset, with the team establishing a 31-25 lead by the end of the first quarter. This early advantage set the tone for a game where, according to reports, the Thunder "have not been able to miss."
