Reversing Pressure: NBA Finals Game 4 Recap, How OKC Won, and What the Pacers Need to Fix For Next Game


Listen Later

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, Bob, and Chris Johnson break down Game 4’s turning point—when OKC stole back momentum with a gritty, physical fourth quarter.

 

They get into the Uno reverse moment: OKC down five, then flipping it with smart coaching, SGA slipping traps, and Jaylen Williams getting downhill. Indiana had it—until missed free throws, fouls, and Siakam disappearing late.

 

They spotlight OB Toppin’s growth, McConnell’s chaos, and why Carlisle’s schemes nearly stole the game. But SGA’s clutch burst and OKC’s defensive switch-ups sealed it.

 

This Finals is chess, not checkers—and Game 4 just reset the board.
