Last night saw the fifth showdown in the NBA playoff finals series.

Details: The Oklahoma City Thunder cruised past Indiana with a 120-109 victory on their home court, moving one step closer to clinching the playoff series.

One of the decisive factors was the electrifying home support, which, combined with a relentless offense and rock-solid defense, left the Pacers with little chance for success.

It was a spectacular night for Jalen Williams, who poured in 40 points, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander notched a double-double (31 points and 10 assists), making a major contribution to Oklahoma’s win.

To make matters worse for Indiana, the Pacers not only suffered a defeat but also lost Tyrese Haliburton to injury. His absence could have a significant impact in the upcoming rematch in Indianapolis on June 20.
