The NBA Finals has reached a pivotal moment as the Oklahoma City Thunder clinched Game 4 with a 111-104 victory, now making the series a best-of-three. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shined with 35 points, leading the Thunder, while Pascal Siakam topped the Pacers with 20 points in a tightly contested match.

Starting the game, the Thunder altered their lineup, opting for a bigger front with Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren. The Pacers, known for their quick offensive plays, initially took the lead with Myles Turner’s effective high-post play. However, as the game progressed, defensive intensity surged with Siakam's four steals, leading to fast breaks that kept Indiana competitive.

Despite a solid start, Indiana struggled with shot selection in the second quarter, allowing the Thunder to build momentum. The game intensified after a flagrant foul by Obi Toppin on Alex Caruso, sparking physicality on both ends. As the third quarter unfolded, the Pacers extended their lead but couldn't maintain their advantage due to poor shooting from beyond the arc.

With the game on the line, Indiana attempted to fight back, but crucial turnovers paved the way for the Thunder to seize the lead late in the fourth. Gilgeous-Alexander's clutch shot sealed the win, sending the series back to Oklahoma City, where stakes will be high.
