The Oklahoma City Thunder clawed their way back into the series with a gritty 92-87 win over the Denver Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals, tying the best-of-seven matchup at 2-2 on Monday (PH time).

After seeing a 15-point lead slip away midway through the third quarter, the Thunder regrouped and dominated the final frame, outscoring Denver 29-18 to reclaim homecourt advantage.

 

 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again delivered in the clutch, finishing with 25 points, six rebounds, six assists, and two steals—including nine critical points in the fourth quarter to seal the win.

Nikola Jokic kept the Nuggets afloat with a 27-point, 13-rebound performance, but Oklahoma City's late-game composure proved too much.

With the series now reset, Game 5 shifts back to Oklahoma City, where the Thunder will look to build on the momentum.
