Hello everyone and welcome to another MARCA in English live blog, this time taking you through Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder.
Pacers hosts the Thunder at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, leading the series 2-1, as this clash could either tilt the championship decisively toward Indiana or breathe new life into Oklahoma City’s title hopes.
A 3-1 lead would push Indiana to the brink of its first-ever NBA championship, and history is firmly on their side, teams leading 3-1 in the Finals go on to win the title over 95% of the time. But the Thunder, who have yet to lose back-to-back games this postseason, are desperate to avoid that fate and reclaim home-court advantage.
Despite a subdued 24-point outing in Game 3, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remains the focal point of the Thunder offense, averaging over 30 points in the postseason. He’ll need help from Jalen Williams, who posted 26 in Game 3, and improved bench contributions from players like Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace.

Jump Ball: Chet Holmgren vs. Myles Turner — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander gains possession.
Start of the 1st Quarter
New challenges for Indiana — and OKC
Hartenstein adds size and rim protection, but Tyrese Haliburton loves attacking slower bigs in space. Meanwhile, Pascal Siakam may look to bully Holmgren in the post. Still, the Thunder should own the glass — forcing Indiana to win this one from the perimeter.
Double-big look returns — will it pay off?
The Holmgren-Hartenstein combo is +7 in limited Finals minutes, but the smaller lineup with Cason Wallace had also built strong first-quarter leads. Wallace has struggled overall, and removing him takes away a defender Indiana was targeting in mismatches.
Thunder revert to big lineup with Hartenstein starting
After dropping the first three games of the Finals, OKC is shaking things up, putting Isaiah Hartenstein back in the starting five alongside SGA, Lu Dort, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren.
Haliburton’s control, Mathurin’s spark, and Indiana’s grit
Indiana’s Game 3 win was a testament to their depth, defensive hustle, and composure under pressure. Tyrese Haliburton orchestrated the offense with near-perfect poise, posting 22 points, 11 assists, and 9 rebounds, while Bennedict Mathurin erupted for a career-high 27 points off the bench, tying a franchise record for playoff scoring by a reserve.
The Pacers bench overwhelmed Oklahoma City’s second unit 49-18, with T.J. McConnell’s disruptive defense adding five steals and five assists. That production proved decisive, as Indiana outlasted OKC in a fourth-quarter surge to win 116-107, holding the Thunder to just 18 points in the final frame.
