After getting blown out in Game 3 by 42 points, the Oklahoma City Thunder needed to come out in Game 4 firing away. And that, it certainly did. The Thunder pic

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander enjoyed arguably the best playoff game of his career to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 128-126 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves and to within one game of the NBA Finals.

The Thunder are going back home for Game 5 with a chance to clinch an NBA Finals appearance for the first time s

Oklahoma City is a win away from an NBA Finals appearance after big performances from Gilgeous-Alexander and Williams.

Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams combined for 95 points and have the Thunder one win from the NBA Finals.

OKC defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 128-126 in Monday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals at Target Center and now leads the series 3-1. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way as he typically does, but it was a trio of Thunder playmakers who proved to be too much for the Timberwolves.

The group that purchased the Seattle SuperSonics was described as the "prototypical ownership group" when they brought the team to OKC in 2006.
