The Oklahoma City (OKC) Thunder just captured a 2-0 lead over Lebron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2026 NBA Playoffs' Western Conference Semifinals, and it's largely thanks to the man running the show. Thunder General Manager Sam Presti has kept the defending champions one step ahead of the pack in pursuit of a repeat, and those key moves he made directly correlated to tonight's win, where the NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) was hounded by the Lakers' defense. Gabriel Ebersole breaks down tonight's dynamic performances from OKC's sophomore guards Ajay Mitchell and Jared McCain, while reminding Thunder nation of Sam Presti's moves to put them in the team's big picture success. Shams Charania's tweet of OKC's new deal with Ajay Mitchell from summer, Daryl Morey "selling high" on Philadelphia 76ers' draft pick Jared McCain, collectively taking OKC's offense to new heights...all in the absence of All-NBA Jalen Williams (JDub).
