The Indiana Pacers were so close to taking a 3-1 series lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2025 NBA Finals. But poor execution down the stretch of the g

Jalen Williams didn't want to leave anything in tank for Oklahoma City Thunder's Game 4 win over Indiana Pacers.

The 2025 NBA Finals is now a best-of-three. The Oklahoma City Thunder evened the score at two wins apiece with their come-from-behind 111-104 Game 4 win over the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Just like that, the Thunder have reclaimed home-court advantage with the series set to shift back to Oklahoma for Monday's Game 5.

The Pacers scored just 17 points in the fourth quarter during their Game 4 loss to the Thunder Friday. The Indiana Pacers fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-104 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals Friday night, which evened the series at two games apiece as it heads back to Oklahoma.

The result was only the second clutch game the Pacers lost this postseason, a 111-104 Thunder win that ties the series up at 2-2. What has been a highly entertaining, well-played Finals will see Game 5 Monday night in Oklahoma City. It also feels like a series that is going to go seven games.

Tyrese Haliburton remains confident in the Indiana Pacers' ability to rebound in the NBA Finals after their Game 4 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he also acknowledged their missed opportunity on Friday night.

There will be increased police presence, he said, including officers on horseback and some “in places that you will not see.” IMPD will also use drones, and Indiana State Police will provide resources as needed.

If the Pacers end up losing this series to the Thunder, they are never going to forget Game 4 -- when a 3-1 lead was right there for the taking only for the Thunder to close on a 12-1 run to steal a 111-104 victory to send the Finals back to Oklahoma City tied, 2-2.
