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.
