In a thrilling game with a dramatic finish, the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 128-126 in Game 4 of the West Finals and moved just one win away from the NBA Finals.

Minnesota, which had a big night on offense, 51% shooting from the field and 44% on 3-pointers, failed in other aspects: it committed 22 turnovers and allowed 19 offensive rebounds that gave 11 more shots to Oklahoma City, who were again led by NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

The difference was also in the performance of the stars. While Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren scored a combined 95 points for the Thunder, Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle had their weakest night of the year. Edwards closed with 16 points (5-13 from the field), and Randle scored just 5 on 1-7 shooting.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the Wolves with 23 points and Donte DiVincenzo chipped in 21 off the bench, but it wasn't enough.

Minnesota is now on the ropes, down 3-1 in the series, and forced to win in Oklahoma City to stay alive.
