Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers Prepare for Game 4 of the NBA Finals

  • The Thunder are trailing 1-2 after Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
  • Game 4 is critically important for the team, as a loss would lead to serious difficulties in the series.
  • Indiana's Myles Turner, despite health issues, is expected to play in the game.

This is reported by Associated Press, The New York Times.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Oklahoma City Thunder enter Game 4 of the NBA Finals with a serious challenge ahead. After losing Game 3, the team finds itself in a 1-2 deficit against the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers showcased their strength by defeating the Thunder 116-107, thanks to a powerful performance from their bench, particularly Benedict Mathurin, who scored 27 points.

The Thunder have experience in similar situations when they have found themselves in a deficit. Team player Jalen Williams noted that the team has faced similar challenges before and intends to use that experience to improve. Oklahoma's coach Mark Daigneault emphasized the importance of emotional stability to avoid extremes during wins and losses.

Game 4 will be critically important for the Thunder. If they win, the series will be tied at 2-2, but if they lose, they will find themselves in a difficult position at 1-3, which is rarely overcome in the NBA. Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stressed that the team must focus on preparation and be ready for all challenges.
