The NBA Finals head back to Oklahoma City as the Thunder host the Indiana Pacers in a crucial Game 5 showdown.

Yet another fourth-quarter comeback determined the outcome of Game 4, but this time it was the Thunder that rallied back to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 15 of his 35 points in the final 4:38 of Game 4 to secure a 111-104 OKC victory.

The series is tied at 2-2, with Oklahoma City hosting a potential Game 7 on Sunday, June 22. But we wouldn’t be so quick to count out the underdog Pacers. Indiana hasn’t lost back-to-back games since March. Can this never-say-die squad win another game in Oklahoma City? Time will tell.
