Oklahoma City Thunder vs. San Antonio Spurs, Game 4 preview:
Injuries continue to be a dominant storyline of the playoffs with the Thunder ruling out guard Ajay Mitchell tonight with a right calf strain. Mitchell left Game 3 during the third quarter after replacing star swingman Jalen Williams in the starting lineup.
Williams is also questionable for Game 4 with left hamstring soreness. Williams has missed most of the playoffs because of injuries.

Two-time MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way in Game 3 with 26 points as Oklahoma City stormed back from San Antonio opening on a 15-0 run. The Thunder are only the second team in playoff history to rally for a win from a 15-0 deficit. Oklahoma City’s bench also was instrumental, scoring a playoff franchise-record 76 points and now is outscoring the Spurs’ bench by 119 points (the largest margin in the first three games of a series since starters were first tracked in 1970-71).
At 5-0, the Thunder (who were an NBA-best 30-10 on the road in the regular season) are the only team that is undefeated on the road in the playoffs.
