Thunder push Lakers to brink

The Oklahoma City Thunder have moved to the brink of the Western Conference Finals after a convincing 131-108 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

The victory gives the top-seeded Thunder a 3-0 series lead, a deficit no team in NBA history has ever overcome in the playoffs.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued his stellar postseason form, while the Lakers struggled to find offensive rhythm in the second half.

Los Angeles now faces a must-win Game 4 to avoid a sweep and an early exit from the postseason.
