"The Thunder can complete the sweep in Monday's Game 4 at Los Angeles. No team in NBA history has come back to win a playoff series from a 3-0 deficit. Absolutely, Gilgeous-Alexander said about wanting to complete the sweep. You never want to waste an opportunity to win a basketball game. We just need to do the same thing we did [in] the first three games."
"The loss dropped the Lakers to 0-7 this season against Oklahoma City, with an average losing margin of 25.1 points. They are pretty good from top to bottom, and they don't take their foot off the gas, James said."
