Hours after the Thunder pulled off a fourth-quarter comeback against the Indiana Pacers to win Game 4 of the NBA Finals, they hopped off the plane in Oklahoma City. When they arrived, throngs of fans were waiting for them despite the fact it was in the wee hours of Saturday morning.
Gilgeous-Alexander was off his game for much of the night, but played like the league MVP in the fourth to lead the OKC rally.
The Pacers scored just 17 points in the fourth quarter during their Game 4 loss to the Thunder Friday. The Indiana Pacers fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-104 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals Friday night, which evened the series at two games apiece as it heads back to Oklahoma.

OKC Thunder Wire on MSNShai Gilgeous-Alexander delivers in clutch in Thunder's Game 4 win over PacersAn endless amount of digital ink will be spilled over Gilgeous-Alexander's Game 4 performance. Down 2-1 on the road, he joins all-time basketball pantheons like LeBron James and Stephen Curry for this backs-against-the-wall scenario. He showed once again why he could be well on his way to being viewed as those future Hall-of-Famers.
However, what won the 68 games and got them to the Finals was their defense, and the Pacers torched that for a long stretch of Game 3. Indiana took better shots and capitalized on them, finishing with a 116 offensive rating (9.5 points higher than the Thunder allowed on average during the playoffs coming into the game).
