Game 5 Recap

Game 5 felt like a rerun of Game 1 Oklahoma City built a big lead, and Indiana stormed back in the fourth. But this time, the Thunder flipped the script.

Jalen Williams poured in a playoff career-high 40 points, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 31 and 10 assists, and OKC held off another furious Pacers rally to win 120-109 and take a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals.

“We're learning,” said Williams, whose efficiency (14-of-24 shooting) helped OKC survive Indiana trimming an 18-point deficit down to two in the final frame.

Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 28 points, and T.J. McConnell sparked the comeback with 13 in the third, but Indiana couldn’t complete the rally especially with Tyrese Haliburton clearly limited by a leg injury.

History now favors the Thunder: teams that win Game 5 of a 2-2 Finals go on to win the series 74% of the time. A 3-2 lead? Even better those teams are 40-9 all-time.

“This wasn’t perfect,” said Thunder coach Mark Daigneault. “But the improvement from Game 4 to Game 5 was critical.”
