The Oklahoma City Thunder are just one win away from being named NBA champions for the first time in history. The Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, moving the series to 3-2. The team said it is the trust in one another that got them to this moment.
With that performance, Jalen Williams joined Kyrie Irving (2016), Kevin Durant (2012), Dwyane Wade (2006), and Shaquille O'Neal (1995) as the only players in the last 40 years to score 25+ points in three straight NBA Finals games. Williams had 26 in Game 3 and 27 in Game 4.
