Sports Pulse
A classic, back-and-forth NBA Finals returns to Oklahoma City, where the Thunder will aim to do something neither team has been able to do in the series: Win consecutive games.
The Indiana Pacers, meanwhile, had the weekend to stew over the missed opportunity they had to take a 3-1 series lead at home. The Pacers held the lead for much of Friday’s Game 4, only to allow the Thunder to prevail 111-104 thanks to a fourth-quarter surge.
Oklahoma City was able to even the series heading back home thanks to league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who scored 15 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter of the Thunder’s Game 4 win.
It all adds up to a crucial Game 5. USA TODAY Sports will provide the latest updates, highlights, wild plays, analysis and more throughout the game. Follow along.
