Although the Lakers were overwhelmed in several departments, the critical shortcomings during Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's absence iced the game, according to Austin Reaves.

Through two Western Conference semifinals games, the real disadvantages the Lakers are facing have been more obvious than just missed calls.

Austin Reaves was unhappy with the officiating in the Los Angeles Lakers' 125-107 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals on Thursday.

The Lakers have been chasing another NBA title since their 2020 win and the surest way to stay on track to one is by keeping Reaves paired with Doncic and allowing them to be the one-two punch that leads the organization into the future and hopefully, for the team and its fans, an 18th championship.
