Lakers Furious at Referees as Thunder Storm to 2-0 Lead

The Oklahoma City Thunder opened a 2-0 lead over the Lakers with a 125–107 win in Game 2 of the Western Conference semis. Lakers coach JJ Redick and the entire organisation publicly blasted the officiating. Redick argued that OKC’s young roster got soft calls at key moments, while veteran stars like LeBron James were repeatedly hit without calls. On the court, Austin Reaves and LeBron James exchanged heated words with referees after several non-calls. Fans and commentators on social media piled on, accusing the league of inconsistency and bias toward the Thunder. With Game 3 shifting to Los Angeles, the growing dispute over the whistle could add extra drama to the series.
