Good news, Thunder Chet gives a "good" update on head injury in Game 4

Thunder forward Chet Holmgren gave an encouraging update on the fourth quarter of the head injury against the Nuggets.

Denver -- Starting forward Chet Homgren fell to the ground with a painful head-on before Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Shay Gilgers-Alexander won Game 4 for the victory over the Denver Nuggets. He was hit in the face with an elbow by Russell Westbrook, the Nuggets sixth man and former Thunder All-Star. It was a fierce confrontation for two big players, Homgren and Isaiah Haltenstein, who were on the arduous task of defending MVP center Nikola Jokic. Luckily, Homgren told reporters that he had improved in form and talked about the importance of pulling the series 2-2 and returning to the Paycom Center for Game 5.

"I'm in good shape. I caught a ball and it hurts, but it doesn't make me dizzy. So, I'm in good shape," said Homgren.

"And this game is a big deal. It's a game that has to be won. Both sides don't play very well. But in the end, you have to find a way to win. We haven't been able to do it twice in this series. So, it's great to be able to do it tonight. Now, our focus has shifted to the next game. We have to continue to be better throughout the series. Put ourselves in a better position and win every game."

Chet Holmgren's injury update and the Thunder's reaction after pulling the series to 2-2.

Thunder's Chet Homegren scored 8 points and 13 rebounds. He helped limit Jokic's poor shooting performance, making 7 of 22 shots and scoring 27 points, including 2 of 8 three-pointers. Jokic also contributed 13 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 assists.

Shay Gilgers-Alexander helped the Thunder win

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault honored the key player who helped the team beat the Nuggets in Game 4, Thunder All-Star Shay Gilgers-Alexander revealed the pressure he put on himself to lead the team to win.

"My mindset is to do my best to win, and I really put a lot of pressure on myself," said Gilgers-Alexander. "I have high expectations for myself - it's always like this. I always have lofty dreams, strive to pursue excellence, and strive to achieve my goals."

For Gilgers Alexander, he has always had high hopes for himself and hopes that he can become one of the league's MVP candidates.

"I always feel like I have to do that. Those moments, the 'guys' on the team are really worth the effort. The money you earn is what you earn yourself," Gilgers Alexander said. "You end the game, you win the game, that's what it means - win the game. The more you go after the season, the stronger the opponent will be, the more stalemate the game will be, and the more you can handle the challenge."

The Thunder will play against the Nuggets on Tuesday.
