How to watch Lakers vs. Thunder Game 2 for free: Time, livestream

The Lakers will look to even things up against the reigning NBA champs when Game 2 against the Thunder tips off tonight.

Although the Lakers started strong in Game 1 behind LeBron James, who finished with 27 points and 6 assists, the Thunder’s depth and defense proved too much for a Los Angeles squad still playing without Luka Dončić.

Chet Holmgren led the way for Oklahoma City with a dominant 24-point, 12-rebound double-double, and even though reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was held to a season-low 18 points and forced into 7 turnovers, Oklahoma City maintained control for the final three quarters, outscoring the Lakers by 18 points in the second half and finishing in a 108-90 win.

The series will move to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Saturday, May 9, before a Monday night Game 4.

Lakers vs. Thunder start time:

Game 2 between the Los Angeles Lakers and OKC Thunder is scheduled to tip off at 9:30 p.m. ET tonight, May 7.
