In the most pivotal game of these NBA Finals, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 15 of OKC's final 16 points as the Thunder stormed back to stun the Pacers in Game 4 to tie the series. That's what everyone was talking about.

The third-year player answered the call with 40 points on 14-of-25 shooting with six rebounds and four assists as OKC took a 3-2 series lead.
