Q: Does being in the East help us with getting Kevin Durant? Maybe the Suns don’t want KD in the West. Maybe KD wants the best chance to win and the East gives him that chance. It seems like the path would be easier in the next year being in the East. – Kristopher, Oceanside, Calif.

The Oklahoma City Thunder used a huge fourth quarter to come back and beat the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Finals on Friday night. OKC evened the series at 2-2 and outscored Indy by 14 points in the fourth quarter of a 111-104 win. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 11 points in the final three minutes as the Thunder came up clutch.

In the playoffs thus far, Mathurin has been averaging 11.1 points on .504/.326/.865 shooting splits, plus 2.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists. He's converting the aforementioned 86.5 percent of his free throws while attempting 4.7 takes per bout, which makes it all the more disconcerting that he couldn't nail his attempts late.

Caitlin Clark is doubly disappointed about how the NBA Finals are going right now. One, the Indiana Pacers lost Game 4. Two, Clark can’t be there for Game 6.

The result was only the second clutch game the Pacers lost this postseason, a 111-104 Thunder win that ties the series up at 2-2. What has been a highly entertaining, well-played Finals will see Game 5 Monday night in Oklahoma City. It also feels like a series that is going to go seven games.

The New York Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau after losing to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Bennedict Mathurin stood at the free-throw line with a chance to cut a four-point deficit in half and give the Pacers a chance for another comeback.

If the Pacers end up losing this series to the Thunder, they are never going to forget Game 4 -- when a 3-1 lead was right there for the taking only for the Thunder to close on a 12-1 run to steal a 111-104 victory to send the Finals back to Oklahoma City tied, 2-2.
