LeBron James and the Lakers went into Game 1 against the Thunder on Tuesday night knowing they were going to have to play a perfect game to even have a slight chance of pulling off an upset against the defending champions. Then they went out and got dominated for 48 minutes, losing 108-90, and now it sure feels like this series could be a quick one.
James and the Lakers were never really in the opening game against the Thunder. They were outscored in all four quarters and could only watch as Oklahoma City took care of business on its home floor. The 41-year-old legend led Los Angeles with 27 points on 12-of-17 shooting and got little help from his teammates, especially Austin Reaves who finished with just eight points on 3-of-16 shooting.
