Cason Wallace emerged from a shooting slump in a crucial NBA Finals Game 5, scoring 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. His performance was pivotal in the Oklahoma City Thunder's 120-109 victory over the Indiana Pacers, giving them a 3-2 series lead. Wallace's four steals and one block showcased his defensive prowess, compensating for his earlier struggles in the Finals.

Wallace's confidence was shaky after missing his first eight attempts in the series. His breakthrough in Game 5 could not have come at a better moment for a Thunder team looking to secure their first championship. With Wallace's rejuvenated play, the Thunder's depth outmatched the Pacers, highlighting the importance of his contributions both offensively and defensively.
