Teams that win Game 5 of a 2-2 best-of-seven NBA playoff series have gone on to win the series 81.3% of the time (191-44).

The Oklahoma City picked up a series-tying Game 4 victory against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday afternoon, using a strong fourth quarter for a 92-87 win. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a team-best 25 points to lead OKC to a much-needed win, and the Thunder outscored the Nuggets 29-18 in the fourth quarter.

Jalen Williams made a pair of free throws with a second left to clinch the result, after the 3-point line served as a house of horrors for both teams in a short-rest matinee. Denver was 11 of 45. Oklahoma City was 10 of 41, prevailing despite a 36% shooting day from the field.
