Spurs Bench and OKC's injury
One of the most important element that propelled this win was the Spurs bench. In Game 3, the Spurs' bench was outscored 76-23 but Game 4 was different. Spurs reserves scored 30 points while also holding the Thunder reserves to 34 points
Another differential factor in Game 4 was the absence of Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell due to injuries. Williams playmaking ability was missed which made it more difficult for Shai Gilgeous Alexander to get buckets.
