It’s almost time for Game 5 to determine if the Thunder move on to play San Antonio or if the Lakers send the series back to Los Angeles. And for me, it also determines where I’ll be working in the next few days.

Game 4 was a great one, and you can see some of the game photos I took below and in this photo gallery.

Thanks again to Sarah Phipps and Joe Billings for help editing on tight deadlines.
