Andrew Bynum did not practice today with his teammates, sitting out to undergo treatment on his strained left Achilles tendon. He said there was some soreness in his Achilles, which was not unexpected after playing Sunday and Tuesday for the first time since he was hurt March 19. Bynum plans to play in Game 3 on Thursday.

The Lakers expect more from the Thunder. Here’s Derek Fisher: “I think we knew it was going to be a hard-fought series .They’re a team, even though they’re young, the style of play they bring on the floor gives them confidence. They’re well coached. So, we’re not surprised by anything. We’re trying to concentrate on ourselves and doing what we do well.”

Sasha Vujacic continues to rest and rehabilitate his sprained left ankle. He said he would not join the team for its trip to Oklahoma City for Games 3 and 4.
