Gilgeous-Alexander and Brooks Meet in Game 4 as Ferrara Candy Invests $675 Million

On April 27, 2026, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander faced Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks in the second half of Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Playoffs first round, while Ferrara Candy announced a $675 million investment in Orangeburg County projecting 1,000 jobs and OCAB reported the death of its Executive Director Calvin Wright.

The game took place at Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Arizona, marking the fourth contest of the opening round between the Thunder and the Suns. Both players were on the floor for the entire second half, highlighting a direct guard‑forward matchup that drew attention from broadcasters and analysts.

Ferrara Candy’s commitment of $675 million aims to expand its manufacturing footprint in Orangeburg County, with officials stating the project will create approximately 1,000 new positions over the next three years. The announcement was made alongside the team’s regular earnings release, underscoring a broader push for regional economic growth.

OCAB, a nonprofit overseeing community development programs, confirmed that its Executive Director Calvin Wright passed away earlier that day. The organization said a temporary leadership team will manage operations while a permanent successor is sought.

The on‑court duel may influence tactical adjustments in the remaining games of the series, as both coaches evaluate how their star players perform against each other. Investors will monitor Ferrara Candy’s rollout timeline for hiring and production upgrades. OCAB stakeholders will watch for the appointment of a new executive director and any potential shifts in program priorities.
