The Los Angeles Lakers head into Game 2 of their playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder on May 7, 2026, facing a clear directive: contain Thunder center Chet Holmgren.
An article published by the New York Post describes Holmgren as “a major problem” for Los Angeles and states that the Lakers “must stop” him to keep the series from slipping away. The Thunder big man’s influence in the opener has prompted the Lakers to focus their game plan on limiting his impact at both ends of the floor.
