Sun May 11 22:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Thunder Evens Series Against Nuggets with Game 4 Win

**Oklahoma City, OK –** The Oklahoma City Thunder evened their second-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets with a hard-fought 92-87 victory in Game 4 on Sunday. The win, fueled by a strong fourth-quarter performance (29-18), ties the series at 2-2.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 25 points, despite a low overall shooting percentage for both teams. The game was marked by poor shooting, with a combined 21-of-86 (24.4%) from three-point range. The Nuggets, despite a slow start (eight points in the first quarter), rallied to take a six-point lead heading into the final period. However, the Thunder’s defensive intensity and clutch plays in the fourth secured the win. Key contributions from the bench, particularly Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace (32 points combined, 8-of-10 from three), proved crucial.

Game 5 is scheduled for Tuesday night in Oklahoma City. The series has been a back-and-forth affair, with Game 1 won by the Nuggets (121-119), Game 2 by the Thunder (149-106), Game 3 going to Denver in overtime (113-104), and now a Thunder win in Game 4. The series will continue in Oklahoma City on Tuesday night at 9:30 p.m. ET, airing on TNT/Max.

While the Thunder swept the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round, the Nuggets needed seven games to defeat the Los Angeles Clippers. Nikola Jokic averaged a triple-double against the Clippers, while Jamal Murray also contributed significantly. This is the Nuggets’ sixth second-round appearance in the last seven years, a testament to their consistent playoff presence. The team’s current coach, David Adelman, has now accumulated more playoff wins than regular season victories since taking over the interim role.
