Game 4 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Minnesota Timberwolves was a matchup that came down to the wire.

As the Timberwolves tried to fight back from a lead that the Thunder kept throughout the game, it wasn't enough, and Oklahoma City was able to win with a final score of 128-126.

Minnesota was able to get the game within just two points, but some clutch free-throw shooting in the final minutes kept the Thunder from losing the lead, and it resulted in taking a 3-1 series lead.

Oklahoma City had a huge game from their big three, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Williams combined for 95 points in the win.

Even though the Timberwolves finished with a better shooting percentage from the field (51.2%), three-point range (43.9%), and the free-throw line (78.6%), the Thunder shot 11 more field goals, and this was what determined the outcome.

He finished with a playoff career-high 34 points, along with three rebounds, five assists and three steals, setting a Thunder franchise record with six made three-pointers in a conference finals game.
