Oklahoma City Thunder edged the Denver Nuggets 92-87 

The Oklahoma City Thunder edged the Denver Nuggets 92-87 on Sunday, tying their second-round playoff series 2-2. The NBA’s youngest team showed poise in crunch time, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scoring nine of his 25 points in the fourth quarter. The Thunder bounced back from a Game 3 overtime loss and overcame a seven-point fourth-quarter deficit, capitalizing on Denver’s late-game mistakes, including a critical five-second inbounds violation. 

Nikola Jokic finished with 27 points and 13 rebounds but managed just three assists and continued his turnover woes, totaling 23 in the series. The game followed an ugly first half with just 25 combined points in the first quarter, but OKC held a 42-36 halftime lead. The series shifts to Oklahoma City for Game 5 on Tuesday, where the Thunder look to take control.
