The Los Angeles Lakers are down 2–0 to the Oklahoma City Thunder after the opening two games of their playoff matchup, leaving the team with no margin for error as the series continues.
The deficit means Los Angeles must string together four wins in the remaining games to keep its postseason alive. Game dates, locations and strategies were not detailed in the original report, but the 2–0 hole puts immediate pressure on the Lakers to respond in the next contest and avoid falling further behind.
Oklahoma City, meanwhile, needs just two more victories to eliminate Los Angeles and advance.
