Oklahoma City leads the second-round series 3-0 and has already beaten the Lakers seven straight times this season, including regular-season and playoff games. It is the most consecutive wins against the Lakers in a single season since the 1976-77 NBA-ABA merger, according to ESPN Insights.
ESPN added that if the Thunder win Game 4 on Monday night in Los Angeles, it would become just the fourth playoff sweep of LeBron's career and the earliest postseason round in which he has ever been swept.
The Lakers are also entering the elimination game without Luka Doncic, who remains sidelined with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. Doncic has not played in the postseason this year because of the injury.
Despite the difficult series, LeBron has still produced solid numbers against Oklahoma City, averaging 23.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 6.7 assists while shooting 51.9% from the field through the first three games.
