Game 4 of the NBA Finals rarely disappoints. Steph Curry in Boston, Dirk Nowitzki in Dallas, and now Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in Indianapolis. Legends are made in Game 4s, and SGA may have made his tonight.

The MVP scored nine of the 10 points for the Thunder in a run that grabbed the lead over Indiana in the closing minutes, effectively saving their season. It was a surreal effort in one of the best Finals games in recent memory. But it’s not without some controversy, as the go-ahead shot could have easily been an offensive foul.

Regardless, the result is the result. We’re tied up at 2-2 in the NBA Finals as the series heads back to Oklahoma City.

Game 5 will be played on Monday, 6/16/25, in Oklahoma City. The Thunder open as nine-point favorites and are -395 on the moneyline on the DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at 222.5.
