Bouncing back from a 42-point blowout, the Oklahoma City Thunder delivered a clutch performance to edge the Minnesota Timberwolves 128-126 in Game 4 and move within one win of the NBA Finals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 40 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists, hitting two crucial free throws with 6.1 seconds left. Jalen Williams added 34 points, and Chet Holmgren chipped in 21 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks.
Despite late pushes by the Wolves, OKC held firm. Anthony Edwards missed an intentional free throw in the final seconds, and Gilgeous-Alexander tracked down the rebound to help run out the clock. The Thunder now hold a 3-1 series lead in the Western Conference Finals and return home for a potential series-clinching Game 5 on Wednesday.
