The Thunder outlasted the Nuggets in one of the toughest shooting games either team will ever go through.

The two teams combined for just 25 points in the first quarter and each team shot 25 percent or worse from three-point range.

OKC battled through the three-point struggles best thanks to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who had 25 points, six rebounds and six assists.

Gilgeous-Alexander was the only OKC player with more than 11 points.

Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Alex Caruso combined for 32 points off the bench. Wallace hit a big three in the fourth quarter to help OKC rally.

Denver outscored OKC by 12 points in the third quarter behind its best stretch of three-point shooting.

Nikola Jokic had 27 points in defeat, but he shot 7-for-22 from the field and earned 11 of his points from the free-throw line.

Denver and OKC will do battle again on Tuesday in Game 5 back in Oklahoma City.

Indiana had Game 4 finished off by halftime.

The Pacers broke out to an 80-39 advantage by the break.

The offensive onslaught began in the first quarter, when the Pacers assisted on 13 of their 14 field goals.

Pascal Siakam helped the Pacers extend their advantage with eight straight points in the second quarter. Siakam was one of five Pacers players in double figures.

The Pacers ended the first half with 25 assists, an NBA postseason record for most assists in a single half.

The Cavs showed some fight in the second half, but narrowing the gap to 20 points at the end wasn't much of a moral victory.

The Cavs' season will be on the line on their home court in Game 5 on Tuesday night.
