The Los Angeles Lakers are in a precarious position, trailing 3-0 in their Western Conference semifinal series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. As they prepare for a critical Game 4 at Crypto.com Arena, coach JJ Redick has urged his players to maintain the same mindset they've had since training camp, emphasizing the need to 'win the day.' Historically, no NBA team has ever recovered from a 3-0 deficit in a playoff series, presenting the Lakers with daunting odds. Despite losing the first three games by an average of 19.6 points, the team remains hopeful. Player Rui Hachimura has been exceptional, averaging 18.3 points per game with a 57.1% three-point shooting rate. Hachimura recalls the previous series against the Houston Rockets, where they faced a similar situation but managed to prevail. The Lakers must also address their struggles in the third quarter, having been outscored 92-61 by the Thunder. With star player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander underperforming compared to his regular season stats, the Lakers will need to capitalize on this to keep their playoff hopes alive.
