Despite being thoroughly outplayed in Game 4, Oklahoma City still accomplished an important objective by splitting the two games in San Antonio and reclaiming home-court advantage as the series heads back to OKC, Jenni Carlson of The Oklahoman writes.

The Thunder know the road back to the NBA Finals was never going to be easy, and players acknowledged that overcoming difficult stretches will be necessary if they want to eliminate the Spurs.

“I think the biggest thing is we can’t rely on it being our best day to win basketball games,” Chet Holmgren said. “We gotta figure out how to do whatever the game calls for for us to win games. We didn’t do it tonight.

“… We’ve done it in the past. We’ve had games where things didn’t go our way or shots weren’t falling, whatever it might be. We still figured out how to win the game, and that’s what we have to do.”
