SGA’s Insane 15-Point 4th Quarter Steals Game 4 for OKC

Wait, Did That Just Happen?

Man, if you turned off the game at halftime thinking Dallas had this wrapped up—I don’t blame you. But man, were we wrong. The Thunder? They pulled off one of those comebacks you’ll be seeing in highlight reels for years. Down 10 in the second half, they clawed back to beat the Mavs 111-104. And the reason? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander decided the fourth quarter was his personal playground. 15 points in the final 12 minutes? That’s not just good—that’s legendary. Series tied 2-2 now, and suddenly, the pressure’s all on Dallas.

How the Heck Did OKC Pull This Off?

First Half: Rough Doesn’t Even Cover It

Let’s be real—OKC looked lost early. Luka and Kyrie were doing whatever they wanted, slicing through the defense like it wasn’t even there. Thunder couldn’t buy a bucket either, shooting a miserable 42% before halftime. You could feel the energy draining from their fans.

Second Half: Flip the Script

But here’s the thing about this Thunder team—they don’t quit. Coach Daigneault must’ve said something magic in that locker room because they came out looking like a completely different squad. Defense tightened up, shots started falling, and then… SGA happened. Back-to-back step-back threes? In the fourth? With the game on the line? The guy’s got ice in his veins. And let’s not forget Lu Dort’s lockdown D or Jalen Williams’ clutch corner three that basically sealed it. What a turnaround.

The Numbers That Matter

• Final score: Thunder 111, Mavs 104 (still can’t believe it)
• Heroes: SGA (32 pts, 6 ast—15 in the 4th!), Jalen Williams (20 big ones), Luka (28 pts, 9 reb but looked gassed late)

SGA: Not Just Good—Unstoppable When It Counts

That Fourth Quarter Was Ridiculous

Okay, let me break this down. Game’s slipping away, OKC needs buckets, and SGA decides to put on a show. Contested and-one over Lively? Check. Dagger three with just over a minute left? Check. The man looked like he was playing against high schoolers out there. His postgame quote? Classic: “I just trusted my work.” Like it was no big deal. Unreal.

This Isn’t New, Folks

Here’s the scary part—he’s been doing this all season. Led the league in clutch scoring, and now he’s tying KD’s old Thunder playoff records? 12 games with 30+ points this postseason? That’s not luck, that’s straight-up dominance.

Mavs Fans Are Having Nightmares Right Now

Defense? What Defense?

Jason Kidd’s gonna be answering questions about this one for a while. Sticking with single coverage on SGA in the fourth? Seriously? Even my grandma could see that wasn’t working. Luka admitted they “lost focus,” but that’s putting it mildly. They got cooked.

Offense Disappeared When It Mattered

Kyrie with just 16 points? That’s not gonna cut it. And those 8 turnovers in the fourth—yikes. That travel by Luka with 2:37 left? That was the moment you knew it was over. Just brutal to watch if you’re a Mavs fan.

So… Did OKC Just Win the Finals Tonight?

Momentum Is a Real Thing

Listen, I’m not saying it’s over—but it sure feels different now, doesn’t it? Dallas’ role players combined for just 19 points. NINETEEN. Meanwhile, OKC’s bench showed up (shoutout to Isaiah Joe’s 11 points). This series has completely flipped on its head.

What’s Next?

Game 5 in OKC is gonna be wild. Mavs need Kyrie to wake up, and fast. Thunder just need to keep doing what they’re doing—playing loose, playing tough, and letting SGA work his magic.

Twitter Is Losing Its Mind (As Usual)

Best Reactions

“SGA isn’t just him—he’s HIM in all caps. Cold. Blooded.” — @RealNBAFan420

“Mavs had one job. ONE JOB.” — @SaltyDallasFan

Even the ‘Experts’ Can’t Agree

Odds swung hard—Thunder went from underdogs to +120 to win it all overnight. Half the analysts still think Luka can carry Dallas, but the other half? They’ve jumped on the OKC bandwagon. Can’t blame them after tonight.

Final Thoughts

This wasn’t just a win—it was a coming-out party. SGA announced himself as a true superstar, and the Thunder proved they’re not just happy to be here. They’re here to win. And now? We’ve got ourselves a series. Buckle up, because Game 5 is gonna be must-watch TV.
