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.

Charles Barkley doesn't hold back when talking about Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers.

The Oklahoma City Thunder evened the 2025 NBA Finals with a crucial Game 4 victory, beating the Pacers 111-104 on the road. If you want to see Game 5 in person, you can still buy tickets to Monday night's game.

However, what won the 68 games and got them to the Finals was their defense, and the Pacers torched that for a long stretch of Game 3. Indiana took better shots and capitalized on them, finishing with a 116 offensive rating (9.5 points higher than the Thunder allowed on average during the playoffs coming into the game).
