The Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder set an unwanted NBA playoff record during their Game 4 matchup by combining for just 25 points in the first quarter, matching the fewest points in a playoff quarter since the shot clock era began. The Thunder led 17-8 at the end of the quarter, equaling previous lows from 1999 and 2002, while both teams struggled with shooting, particularly from three-point range. Although the Nuggets outscored the Thunder in the second quarter, Oklahoma City ultimately won the game 92-87, narrowly avoiding a new record for the fewest playoff points in a quarter.
