Williams, SGA power OKC to huge victory for a 3-2 lead
-
Game 5 was starting to look like Game 1 all over again. Oklahoma City, at home, takes a huge lead Indiana comes roaring back in the fourth quarter.
Indiana won that one.
This time, the Thunder crafted a different ending— and a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals was their reward.
Jalen Williams scored a career playoff-high 40 points, MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 31 and the Thunder moved one win from a title by beating the Pacers, 120-109, on Monday night, June 16.
"We're learning," said Williams, whose previous playoff best was 34.
