Hachimura notched 25 points (9-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 43 minutes during Monday's 115-110 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

It was Hachimura's best scoring effort of the playoffs, but it wasn't enough to keep the Lakers' season alive as they got swept out of the second round. The 28-year-old forward averaged 17.5 points, 4.0 boards, 3.3 threes, 1.7 assists and 1.5 combined steals and blocks over 10 games this postseason while shooting 54.9 percent from the floor and 56.9 percent from beyond the arc, a strong performance that should only boost his value on the open market as he heads into free agency.

Reaves racked up 27 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 43 minutes during Monday's 115-110 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

The 27 points led the Lakers on the night, but it wasn't quite enough to keep their season alive as they got swept out of the second round. Reaves looked fully healthy over the last three games, averaging 25.0 points, 7.0 assists, 4.0 boards and 2.3 threes in 40.0 minutes while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor, and the 27-year-old guard's usage could get a boost in 2026-27 if LeBron James elects to call it a career, leaving the keys to the offense in the hands of Reaves and Luka Doncic (hamstring).

Holmgren produced 16 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 115-110 win over the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

The 24-year-old big man fell exactly one board short of a double-double for a third straight game as the Thunder booked their tickets for the Western Conference Finals with a second-round sweep. Holmgren is averaging 18.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, 1.5 threes, 1.4 steals and 1.3 assists during the playoff run while shooting 60.0 percent from the floor.

Mitchell closed with 28 points (12-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and four steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 115-110 victory over the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

It was Mitchell's best-scoring performance yet in the playoffs, as the Thunder completed the sweep and advanced to the Western Conference Finals. The second-year guard has started six straight games in place of Jalen Williams (hamstring), averaging 21.2 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 boards, 1.5 threes and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes over that stretch. With extra time for Williams to heal up before OKC's next game, however, Mitchell could get bumped back to the bench in the next round.

James supplied 24 points (8-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block across 40 minutes in Monday's 115-110 Game 4 loss to the Thunder in the Western Conference Semifinals.

James scored 14 of his 24 points in the second half and finished as Los Angeles' third-leading scorer in Monday's season-ending loss. The superstar also dominated on the glass, grabbing a game- and series-best 12 rebounds en route to his third double-double of the postseason. After being swept by the Thunder in the second round of the playoffs, the 41-year-old will enter unrestricted free agency this offseason. He averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists, 6.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks in 33.2 minutes per contest across 60 regular-season games in 2025-26, and he still appears to have plenty left in the tank if he decides to play next season.

Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 35 points (11-22 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 12-15 FT), one rebound, eight assists and one steal across 39 minutes during the Thunder's 115-110 win in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Lakers on Monday.

Gilgeous-Alexander put together one of his better performances of the series to help the Thunder sweep LA in four games. He made a few clutch shots down the stretch and also wasn't afraid set his teammates up for open looks when the Lakers sent double teams, helping the Thunder score the final six points of the game to secure a victory. Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 24.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.0 steals in the just-concluded semifinal-round series.

Mobley closed with 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, five blocks and three steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 112-103 win over the Pistons in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

The 2024-25 Defensive Player of the Year was dominant on the defensive end Monday, supplying a game- and series-best five swats while matching the game high in steals. Mobley also tied the game-high mark in rebounds and ended as Cleveland's third-leading scorer in an extremely well-rounded performance. The big man has tallied multiple blocks in all four games of this series and will look to continue that trend in Wednesday's Game 5 in Detroit.

Harden posted 24 points (5-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 11 assists, three steals and one block over 37 minutes during Monday's 112-103 victory over the Pistons in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Harden missed all five of his shots from inside the arc yet dominated from deep and frequently got to the charity stripe. The veteran guard scored 15 of his 24 points in the first half but took a back seat to Donovan Mitchell afterward, as Mitchell scored 39 points in the second half. Harden tallied a game-high 11 assists, marking his second double-double of the postseason, with his first coming in Game 1 against the Raptors during the opening round. He also contributed at least three combined steals-plus-blocks for the second time in this series.

Thompson contributed four points (2-3 FG), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 112-103 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Thompson had a muted performance on the offensive end and didn't offer much defensively in his limited minutes. The third-year forward logged fewer than 24 minutes for the first time this postseason and finished with a game-worst minus-27 point differential. He'll look to bounce back during Wednesday's Game 5 in Detroit.

Harris closed with 16 points (6-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block over 36 minutes during Monday's 112-103 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Harris saw a heavy workload on the offensive end once again, though he struggled with efficiency in this one. The veteran forward scored fewer than 20 points after eight straight games reaching that mark, but he still finished as Detroit's third-leading scorer. He also led the team in rebounds and chipped in at least three combined steals-plus-blocks for the fifth time this postseason.
