In what's becoming a recurring theme this postseason, Austin Reaves continues to struggle with both his oblique injury and the pressure of playoff basketball. Saturday's performance was another tough outing for the Lakers guard, who managed just five baskets while committing five turnovers and spending much of the game arguing with officials.

This left the heavy lifting to LeBron James, who may not be officially listed on the injury report, but you can bet his 39-year-old body is feeling every minute of this series. While James isn't officially hurt, exhausted, or a senior citizen in real life, his play during crunch time on Saturday certainly looked like all three.

The turning point came in the third quarter, when the Thunder went on a devastating 21-5 run. In one particularly painful sequence, James missed consecutive layups, then looked passive on a pass from Reaves that turned into a turnover and immediately became an Oklahoma City bucket on the other end. It was the kind of moment that makes you wonder if Father Time is finally catching up to the King.

For Lakers fans, the concern is real: without a healthy and confident Reaves to take pressure off James, this team's playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. And with each passing game, that thread gets a little thinner.
