Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 34 points, and the Dallas Mavericks missed 11 free throws, paving the way for the Oklahoma City Thunder to get out of American Airlines Center with a heart-stopping 100-96 victory on Monday night.
With the win by OKC, this best-of-seven Western Conference semifinals series is tied at 2-2.
Game 5 is Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in Oklahoma City and Game 6 is Saturday at AAC. If necessary, a Game 7 will be played in OKC on May 20.
The Mavs led by as many as 14 points, but their inability to make their free throws wound up costing them in the end.
