The Oklahoma City picked up a series-tying Game 4 victory against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday afternoon, using a strong fourth quarter for a 92-87 win. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a team-best 25 points to lead OKC to a much-needed win, and the Thunder outscored the Nuggets 29-18 in the fourth quarter.
Isaiah Hartenstein went from playing behind Denver's Nikola Jokic to playing against him with OKC in the second round of the NBA Playoffs.
Oklahoma City had its back against the wall on Sunday afternoon, but managed to come away with a win after a solid showing down the stretch.
It started innocuously. Murray missed an open catch-and-shoot 3 when the Thunder doubled Jokic in the post. Porter pulled up in space when OKC didn’t pick him up during a transition push, but his shot fell short of the rim. Gordon missed a drive-and-kick jumper from the corner, where he’s been lights out. The offense was generating good looks.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 25 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder held the Denver Nuggets to 31.3% shooting from the field to win Game 4.
