The Oklahoma City Thunder completed a dominant sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers with a 115-110 comeback victory in Game 4. The defending champions improved to 8-0 this postseason, becoming the fourth defending champion to begin the playoffs with at least eight consecutive wins. Austin Reaves summed up Oklahoma City's performance after the game with a simple declaration: "They're really f---ing good."

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with a series-high 35 points in Game 4, despite facing the most aggressive double-teams of his career. The Lakers schemed specifically to slow him down, limiting him to 21.0 points in the series, more than 10 points below his regular-season average. Thunder coach Mark Daigneault emphasized Gilgeous-Alexander's impact extended far beyond his box score statistics.

Oklahoma City hadn't trailed in the fourth quarter during this postseason until Monday, when the Lakers led by as many as five points. Gilgeous-Alexander checked back in early and scored nine of his 35 points in the final quarter. The Thunder's dominance in second halves (plus-55 in the series) and offensive rebounding success contributed to their sweep of the Lakers.
