The Thunder relied on its defense down the stretch to clinch the first round playoff series win (4-0) in Game 4 on Monday night.

Down five in the fourth quarter, OKC went on a 15-2 run for a 97-89 road win over the Pelicans to advance to the Western Conference Semifinals.

In a balanced attack, the Thunder had all five starters score in double-figures including 24 points apiece from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams on the night.
