Thunder Rally Late, Tie NBA Finals 2-2

The Indiana Pacers lost Game 4 of the NBA Finals at home, falling 111-104 to the Oklahoma City Thunder and allowing the series to be tied at 2-2. The Pacers led by seven entering the fourth quarter and held a four-point advantage with just over three minutes left, but the Thunder closed the game on a decisive 12-1 run. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 15 of his game-high 35 points in the final minutes to lead the comeback, while Thunder coach Mark Daigneault's double-big lineup played a key role. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle cited poor rebounding and stagnant offense as reasons for the late collapse. The loss is a major setback for Indiana, who now face the challenge of winning two games on the road. Game 5 will take place in Oklahoma City, with both teams needing two wins to claim the championship.
