The Oklahoma City Thunder have done it again—sweeping their way through the 2026 NBA playoffs with a gritty 115-110 Game 4 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. After three relatively one-sided contests, this was the nail-biter fans had been waiting for, and it didn't disappoint.

The game came down to the wire, with Chet Holmgren redeeming himself after a couple of costly shooting fouls. With just 32 seconds on the clock, the big man waited for the lane to clear before throwing down a two-handed jam that put the Thunder ahead for good. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finally looked like his MVP-caliber self, dropping 35 points and dishing out eight assists in a performance that reminded everyone why he's the engine of this team.

On the other side, the Lakers couldn't find an answer. Austin Reaves misfired on an outside jumper, and LeBron James's floater came up short—a rare off-night for the King in a critical moment. It was a thrilling finish to what has been a dominant playoff run for the Thunder, who have now won eight straight games to start their title defense, six of them by double digits.

And for those wondering if the officials played a role in the outcome, the Last Two Minute Report has spoken: no mistakes were made. The crew, led by Tony Brothers, called a perfect game in the clutch moments, with no incorrect calls or non-calls to speak of. This includes the controversial moment some Lakers fans thought might have been a travel on Holmgren's game-winning dunk—the L2M report confirms it was clean.

It's refreshing to see a close playoff game decided by the players, not the referees. For the Thunder, this was their first real test of the postseason, and they passed with flying colors. But the road ahead only gets tougher. The Western Conference Finals promise to be a bloodbath, especially if the San Antonio Spurs advance. For now, though, Oklahoma City can enjoy their sweep—and the confidence that comes from winning in every way imaginable.
