NBA Play-offs: OKC wins Game 4 with Denver, Indiana goes 3-1

Two NBA playoff games played on the night. Great feat by OKC who, down 1-2 in the series with Denver, managed to win the very delicate Game 4 (92-87 the final) on the fiery court of Jokic and co. Now the series is in a perfect tie.

After a flying start, OKC suffered the Nuggets’ comeback. It’s all decided in the convulsive finale of the game where Gilgeous-Alexander, one of the MVP candidates, manages to make the difference with a couple of very important baskets. For him there are, on the score sheet, 25 points with also six assists. On the other side, an excellent performance by Jokic is not enough: 27 points and 13 rebounds for the Serbian.

Fails, however, the chance to put the series back on track Cleveland. Indiana, in fact, also takes home Game 4 (129-109 the final) and runs away on 3-1. Cavs now really with their backs against the wall, also because of the’injury to its all-star Mitchell, forced off the court at halftime with a left ankle problem.

Indiana plays at a very high pace, shooting 66.7 percent from three. Excellent performance by Turner, who finished with 20 points (four threes). Despite 3-1 in the series, Pacers coach Carlisle makes no grand proclamations: “We haven”t done anything yet, his clear words reported by ESPN.
