Thunder overcome clutch woes to beat Nuggets in gritty Game 4

DENVER -- The Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Denver Nuggets at their own game Sunday.

The NBA's youngest team made all the clutch plays in crunch time against an experienced squad teeming with a championship pedigree, knotting the second-round Western Conference series with a 92-87 win in Game 4.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored nine of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, pulling the top-seeded Thunder from the brink of a 3-1 deficit against a Denver team known for closing out games while winning six of its past seven playoff series -- and the two tight games earlier in this series that resumes Tuesday night in Oklahoma City.
