In grueling NBA Finals, Pacers may regret Game 4 loss to Thunder

And they were. Until they were not. The Thunder, who trailed for much of the game and whose largest lead was the margin of the final score, defeated the Pacers 111-104 in Game 4 Friday, June 13. If the Pacers lose this series - it's 2-2 headed back to Oklahoma City for Game 5 - they will look at Game 4 as the one that made the difference, the one that altered the direction of the series. "Hey, you're up seven at home," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said of an 87-80 lead to start the fourth quarter, "you have to dig in and find a way, and we were unable to do it tonight." Was it a blown opportunity? That's unfair to the Thunder who had a lot to do with how Indiana played in the final six minutes. Was it one the Pacers squandered? Was it one the Thunder took? Either way, victory slipped away from Indiana. But that's NBA Finals basketball between two really good teams that play extremely hard and are well-coached. It's a series where every possession has meaning, and possessions are grueling. Just listen to the coaches. "It's the ultimate effort, endeavor, whatever you want to call it," Carlisle said. "I mean, it's long. It's arduous. But it's the greatest opportunity going. It's really hard, and it's supposed to be hard." Thunder coach Mark Daigneault: "We had some deflating plays. It was an easy game to give up on. ... They're a hard team to beat here. They're a hard team to beat, period. I thought we gutted it out on a night when we didn't have a lot going, especially offensively." Arduous. Gutted it out. This is an exhausting series, mentally and physically for players and coaches. "It's frustrating, of course," Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton said. "You want to win that game, especially a game at home where you have the lead late. But that's just not how the cookie crumbled today." It has turned into a fantastic series, one that is going at least six games, and a Game 7 won't be surprising. The Game 5 winner will have a chance to win the title in Game 6 in Indianapolis and that atmosphere the fans create at Gainbridge Fieldhouse will be electric. Coaches and players talk about how this series is won in the margins. Who dove for a loose ball and saved a possession? Who took a charge or set a solid screen? "We had a lot of guys make winning plays that can kind of be invisible to the untrained eye," Thunder center-forward Chet Holmgren said. "It's not showing up necessarily in the stat sheet. It's not like a highlight that's going to be played over and over. It's not one single instance." Oklahoma City took five more free throws and made nine more. "They missed four. We missed eight," Carlisle said. "The difference of four is significant. There's a lot of little things going on." The Thunder outrebounded the Pacers 43-33 and turned 12 offensive rebounds into 23 second-chance points. "This series is going to come down to the basics, and our inability to effectively rebound when we needed to is the biggest thing - a bunch of second-chance points made it difficult, and in the end, impossible," Carlisle said. It's a best-of-three series now with Oklahoma City regaining home-court advantage, and the Pacers must win another on the road to win the title against a team that has lost at home eight times all season. "It's going to be a challenge," Haliburton said, "but this group has been resilient all year." In a Finals as close as this one, there's no time to sulk and let disappointment spill into the next game. "This is where we're going to have to dig in and circle the wagons and come back stronger on Monday," Carlisle said. "This is a big disappointment, but there's three games left. ... This kind of a challenge is going to have extreme highs and extreme lows. This is a low right now, and we're going to have to bounce back from it."

In the biggest moment of his career, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander kept his cool — and saved the Thunder's season

INDIANAPOLIS — Through the first three quarters of Game 4 of the NBA Finals, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — the regular season MVP — was faltering in the highest-stakes moment of his career. Though he had 20 points at the time, the Thunder were outscored by 16 with Gilgeous-Alexander on the floor. The offense looked discombobulated, and SGA was being hounded by Indiana Pacers guard (and childhood friend) Andrew Nembhard, unable to find space to operate. Oklahoma City looked very much in danger of going down 3-1, a deficit only one team has ever overcome in the championship round. And SGA was being rendered ineffective, forced to play off the ball by Nembhard's aggressive defense and failing to put his imprint on the game. But the MVP saved his best for last, scoring 15 points in the final frame, a poised response in the midst of a hard-fought battle. As a result, the Thunder out-clutched the most clutch team in the postseason with a 111-104 win — and now they're back in the driver's seat of the finals. 'I just tried to be aggressive,' Gilgeous-Alexander said of his performance down the stretch. 'I knew what it would have looked like if we lost tonight. I didn't want to go out not swinging. I didn't want to go out not doing everything I could do in my power, in my control to try to win the game...I guess it paid off.' All of SGA's fourth-quarter points came in the last four minutes and 38 seconds of the game, accounting for 15 of his team's final 16 points. 'I didn't know that, but that's crazy,' Oklahoma City center Chet Holmgren said when told about that stat. 'We've seen it before from him. We know that that's the type of player he is. But it's still impressive.' 'It's unbelievable,' said Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault. 'He really didn't have it going a lot of the night. He was laboring. We had a hard time shaking him free. For him to be able to flip the switch like that and get the rhythm he got just speaks to how great of a player he is.' It would have been easy for SGA to be frustrated. Game 4 was a slog. It was a physical matchup with both teams being called for over 25 fouls. And Nembhard was seemingly attracted to Gilgeous-Alexander by a magnetic force, following him around every square inch of the court. Instead, Gilgeous-Alexander remained at an even keel. When his team absolutely needed him to score, SGA found ways to evade Nembhard, often by drawing Indiana guard Aaron Nesmith into ball screens to force a switch, aggressively hunting a more favorable matchup. SGA finished the fourth quarter 3 of 6 from the field and 8 of 8 from the free-throw line, and the Thunder outscored the Pacers by 16 points in the 11 minutes and 12 seconds he was on the floor. It was the opposite of Gilgeous-Alexander's Game 3 fourth-quarter performance, when he looked fatigued and scored only three points. 'You really wouldn't know whether he's up three, down three, up 30, down 30, eating dinner on a Wednesday. He's pretty much the same guy,' Daigneault said of his star's resolve. 'You wouldn't know if it was a preseason game or it's Game 4 of the NBA Finals down 2-1 with him,' Thunder guard Alex Caruso added. 'No matter what's going on, you look at him and he's the same. Underneath that stoic personality or look on the court is a deep, deep-rooted competitiveness.' Gilgeous-Alexander wouldn't have been in position for his late heroics if not for OKC's defense, it should be noted. Indiana started the game on fire, scoring 20 points in the first four minutes and 48 seconds of the opening quarter. In the final five minutes and three seconds of the fourth, the Pacers scored only seven points. The lockdown defense set the stage for SGA, and he took advantage, turning the finals into a best-of-three series and wrestling back homecourt for the Thunder. 'Winning, especially this time of the season, it comes down to the moments, it's going to come down to late game,' the MVP said. 'Every team is good. There's rarely going to be a blowout. It comes down to the moments and who is willing to make winning plays on both ends of the floor. 'When I was a kid shooting at my driveway, I'd count down the clock for those moments. Now I get to live it. It's a blessing, it's fun, and I relish it.'
