The Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Indiana Pacers 111-104 in Game 4 Friday night to even the NBA Finals at 2-2 as the series heads back to Oklahoma. NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 15 points in the fourth quarter to lift the Thunder past the Pacers as they finished the game on a 12-1 run.
Oklahoma City was at risk of heading home with a 3-1 deficit, just one loss away from elimination, but they dug deep to pull out a difficult road win. Gilgeous-Alexander had 35 points on the night and hit all 10 of his free-throw attempts. As a unit, the Thunder shot just 3-for-17 (17.6%) on three-pointers in Game 4, but having their backs against the wall heading into the game and for most of the night helped in the end.
