The OKC Thunder defeated the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 of the second-round series 100-96 and tied the matchup 2-2.
In what was a tough battle, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the difference for OKC with 34 points, while Luka Doncic, on the other hand, struggled all night long and even missed the potential game-tying free-throw down the stretch.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to a huge Thunder win on the road.
Luka has been HORRIBLE this entire postseason.

Luka Doncic more like Letyou Downcic

I thought Wallace tilted that game. What a great pick by Presti. SGA = ridiculous. Chet = tough MF’er. That’s such a likable team. 2-2 feels like the right score for this series,

I’m going to remember that SGA 4th quarter for the rest of my life. As bad as it hurts, that was amazing to witness.

Oh btw SGA put on a MVP performance tonight

Your best player typically decides playoff series. SGA just put the team on his back.

SGA is the closest thing we’ve had to Kobe.

SGA’s midrange game is insane

Superstar shit from SGA to close this game, my goodness

Luka Doncic is shooting 40/26/77 in 10 games this postseason

Shouldn’t be undersold in the SGA brilliance…. Chet showed absolute stones down the stretch.
