The Los Angeles Lakers vs. Oklahoma Thunder NBA Playoffs series is now tied 2-2 and the Kobe Bryant-led Lakers hardly looked invincible Saturday night. Oklahoma City's Game 4 win margin was one of the largest between No. 8 and No. 1 seeds in the past 27 years.  The final score was 110-89.

Sportsbetting.com featured odds on Oklahoma City to win the 2010 NBA Championship at 50/1 for a payout potential of $5000 on every $100 bet or $500 on every $10 bet.

"A lot of people didn't expect us to be here and once we got here, people were saying we were going to get swept and a lot of different things," Oklahoma City player Kevin Durant said. "We knew what we were capable of and how hard we play every day and how hard we practice every day.

"With those attributes, I think that we can go far as a team. It's all on us. We control our own destiny at this point."

After scoring 15 of 85 points in transition during the first three games of the series, Kevin Durant scored half of his 22 points in transition in Saturday's blowout win.

"This is as big as a game can possibly be," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "You're playing against one of the best teams in the playoffs on your home floor. Like I told the guys after the game, the Lakers did a good job the first two games. They took care of their home court. We did the same thing."

The team won only 23 games last season and made no significant free-agent acquisitions before its 27-win improvement.

Now, they're guaranteed at least the chance to extend their season until Game 6 on Friday night back on their home court -- and maybe beyond.
