Summary
In a hard-fought game that came down to the final possessions, the Lakers were not able to fend off the Thunder and were eliminated from the playoffs in Game 4. Pete and Darius discuss how it all went down, the resiliency the team showed, what the key takeaways are for the team after a game and series like this, the growth from Austin Reaves over the course of the series, what stood out from LeBron in what could be his final game as a Laker, and much more.
