Thunder 103 Lakers 100
OKC 3-1

Much like game 2, the Oklahoma City Thunder used a fourth quarter rally to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in game four 103-100.

For much of the second half the Thunder seemingly could not break 7-point barrier. Russell Westbrook kept grinding away, and then Kevin Durant took over late to seize victory from the jaws of defeat. First, Durant nailed a 7-foot jumper over Kobe Bryant to tie the game at 96. Then with the game knotted at 98, Durant stole a weak pass from Pau Gasol and took the ball down the court. Without calling a timeout, Durant let the clock run down and then nailed a 26-foot three-pointer from the top of the key to put the Thunder up 101-98 with 13.7 seconds left. Kobe Bryant missed a three on the Lakers next possession and the Thunder would go on to win 103-100. Westbrook had a game high 37 points, and Durant had 31 points and 13 rebounds. Kobe Bryant had 38 points in the loss.

The Thunder will look the close things out in game 5 monday night as the series returns to Oklahoma City.
