Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers

Washington, Jun 15 (PL) The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers today announced their best weapons for Game 5 of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals, scheduled for tomorrow at the Paycom Center.

Once again with the leadership of Canadian point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder tied the series at two by defeating the Pacers 111-104 in the fourth game and gave hope to their fans.

Now they welcome their bitter rivals at the Paycom Center, where they are almost unbeatable, and prepare for a fifth game described as historic by specialists.

At the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, the home franchise was firmly on track for a 3-1 lead in the playoffs when they led by 10 points in the last minute of the third quarter and went into the final quarter with a seven-point advantage.

However, the reaction came from playmaker Gilgeous-Alexander, who scored 15 points in the last four minutes of the contest for a total of 35 and became the first player since Jerry West to score 35 or more and not dish out assists in an NBA Finals game.

A 12-1 run in the final two minutes lifted a visiting team that managed to neutralize its dismal percentage of three three-point baskets in 17 attempts.

In addition, shooting guard Jalen Williams contributed 27 points and point guard Alex Caruso 20.

Chet Holmgren added 14 points and 15 rebounds, and Kenrich Williams and Lu Dort brought joy and sacrifice in the Thunder game.
