In the long arc of team-building and patience, the Oklahoma City Thunder offered another chapter Thursday night — a 125-107 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers that extended their unbeaten playoff record to 2-0. What unfolded in that arena was less a story of individual brilliance than of collective resilience: a young team absorbing adversity, losing its best player to foul trouble at a critical moment, and responding not with panic but with purpose. The series now travels to Los Angeles, where the Lakers will search for something they have not yet found against this Thunder side.
