After defeating the Thunder convincingly on Sunday, the Lakers fell apart down the stretch on Tuesday and lost by a decisive margin.

As the Oklahoma City Thunder gear up for a two-game set against the Los Angeles Lakers at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Head Coach Mark Daigneault offered a clear look at where his team’s priorities lie. In a press conference ahead of the highly anticipated series, Daigneault touched on everything from playoff prep to player development and key opponents.

Unlike in recent games, the Lakers held onto a lead late, and as a result, they defeated the Grizzlies by a final score of 134-127. Reaves led them with 31 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, while Doncic scored 29 points and James provided 25 points.

He led his Dallas Mavericks to a six-game, second-round upset over the Thunder last year. In that series, he put up 24.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 3.0 threes, while shooting 39.1 percent from deep.

Stephen Curry scored 37 points, Brandin Podziemski added 28 and the Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 123-116 for their fourth win in a row in a potential first-round playoff preview.
