In game five, the Thunder clinched victory at home with a final score of 120:109, thanks to standout performances by Jalen Williams (40 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (31 points).
Isaiah Hartenstein, the German force on the team, started from the first whistle and demonstrated his unyielding determination with 8 rebounds, despite only scoring 4 points. The Thunder can seal the title on Thursday at the Pacers, or three days later in their own arena.
A Closer Look at the Series:After falling behind 0:1 and 1:2 in the series, Oklahoma City successfully delivered a second consecutive win. The game remained close, but the Thunder pulled ahead drastically: at the half time, they led 59:45, and the victory only faltered momentarily at 95:93 with eight minutes remaining.
Pascal Siakam led the scoring chart for the Pacers with 28 points, but concerns surround point guard Tyrese Haliburton, who scored only 4 points (all from free throws) due to right leg pain. Although Haliburton returned to the game, he wasn't at his full strength. As Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said, "many players in the series aren't at 100%."
Game 6 will take place on June 19 in Indiana, and Thunder fans are eagerly anticipating the historic moment when their team lifts the NBA trophy. 🏆 🚀 #NBATitleRun #ThunderUp #BelieveInOKC #NBAFinals
