Description

Much like their second round series against the Denver Nuggets, the Thunder won a crucial Game 4 to avoid a 3–1 deficit. The Thunder rallied in the 4th quarter after being down by 10 points. With the win, the Thunder evened the series at 2–2. The Thunder moved to 18–2 after a defeat in both the regular season and playoffs, tying the 1986–87 Lakers for the best winning percentage in NBA history after a loss in a season.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered, scoring 15 of his 35 points in the final 4:38, capping Oklahoma City's rally from a 10-point, second-half deficit. Jalen Williams added 27, Alex Caruso had 20 and Chet Holmgren finished with 14 points and 15 rebounds. Down the stretch in the fourth quarter, Holmgren's defense proved vital against Tyrese Haliburton. The Thunder won the game despite a season-low three 3-pointers and no assists from Gilgeous-Alexander for the first time all season.

The Pacers, who had a 10-point lead deep into the third quarter, were unable to pull away. Pascal Siakam scored 20 for Indiana, but only took one shot in the fourth quarter. Haliburton had 18 points and 7 assists, while Obi Toppin continued his stellar play off the bench with 17 points. The Pacers had chances at the end of the game, but Bennedict Mathurin missed 3-of-4 free throws and committed two away from the play fouls in the last 23.1 seconds. Haliburton made Finals history for the most points scored in a 3-game span (53) without a free throw attempt, surpassing Kobe Bryant's mark set in the 2000 NBA Finals.
