Backed by the best playoff crowd yet, the Oklahoma City Thunder put themselves in the driver's seat for the first time in the championship series. A 120-109 Game 5 win over the Indiana Pacers gave them a 3-2 series lead in the 2025 NBA Finals.

Jalen Williams scored a tough contested floater to close the third quarter and extend OKC's lead to 87-79. The Thunder needed the bucket after a 13-point outburst from T.J. McConnell allowed the Pacers to eat into OKC's 14-point halftime lead.

For three hours, it was the loudest place on planet Earth. A concrete kettle that whistled louder than ever as the Thunder topped the Pacers in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Jalen Williams scores 40 points in a masterful performance as OKC moves within 1 win of its 1st NBA championship.
