The Oklahoma City Thunder are on the brink of making history, poised to capture their first NBA title since relocating, as they lead the series against the Indiana Pacers 3-2. With two consecutive wins under their belt, the Thunder are favored to clinch the championship in Game 6 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. However, the health of star guard Tyrese Haliburton remains a significant concern for the Pacers, as he battles a calf injury, leaving his participation in the crucial game uncertain.

Thunder stars Jalen Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander combined for 71 points in Game 5, showcasing their dominance in the series, while Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA MVP, is heavily favored to secure the Finals MVP award. Despite their road struggles in the playoffs, the Thunder's overall postseason performance remains impressive.
