In the NBA Finals Tianwangshan battle, the Thunder defeated the Pacers 120-109 at home to capture Tianwangshan, leading 3-2.

Alexander and Jaylen Williams both performed well. Alexander played 37 minutes, made 9 of 20 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 13 of 14 free throws, scored 31 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks, plus or negative value +9. Jaylenway made 14 of 25 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 9 of 12 free throws, 40 points in the career playoff score record, and 6 rebounds and 4 assists. After the game, Thunder player Jay Leonway, who scored 40 points in this game, was interviewed by the media. Speaking of the Thunder team, Jaylenway said: "It is an honor and a gift for me to be in such an environment. Everyone in our team really hopes that my teammates can succeed."

According to statistics, Alexander and Jaylenway are the second pair in the history of the Finals who got 40+ and 30+ in the same game in the past 40 years. The first pair is James and Irving.

Interestingly, the Thunder played 9 people today, and Jaylenway's salary was only $4.78 million, the lowest among the nine people. The Thunder also sat down for a season-long rookie Topic, who earned $4.94 million this year. After the game, Thunder coach Dagnot praised Jaylen Williams' performance at a press conference: "We have worked with him for a long time and can perform like this when he is in his best condition. But this is indeed incredible. Jaylenway performed well throughout the game, full of energy and oppression. He has been playing the right tactics and hopes that he can perform equally well in G6."

It is worth mentioning that Jaylen Williams is still holding a rookie contract, with an annual salary of only $4.78 million in the 2024-25 season, which is the third year of his rookie contract. He will enter the final year of his rookie contract in the 2025-26 season ($6.58 million).

According to the rules, Jaylen Williams can sign a five-year, $246 million designated rookie clause contract with the Thunder. If Jaylen Williams enters the All-Squad/Election DPOY/Election MVP in the 2025-26 season, he can receive a maximum salary of $296 million for five years.

Thunder strongman Caruso was silent on the offensive end but his defense was still strong. He played for 29 minutes, made 1 of 8 shots (0 of 3 three-pointers), scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, sent 4 steals and 1 block, with a plus-minus value +8.

In this game, Halliburton played for 34 minutes due to injury, 0 of 6 shots, including 0 of 4 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 4 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 turnovers, with a plus-minus value of -13.

Halliburton said in an interview that he would play in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and said that he had been waiting for this moment all his life. It's the finals, this is the finals. I have been working hard to come here all my life. I want to go on the court to compete, and I never thought about not playing. Anyway, I didn't perform well tonight, but as long as I could still leave, I would want to play. Then he limped away from the press conference.

It can be seen that in the three games that the Pacers lost, too many mistakes are a very important factor. Take today's game for example. At the last quarter, the Pacers once chased the score to 2 points. Subsequently, the Pacers' team failed in offense and made continuous mistakes, which eventually ruined the game.

If the Pacers want to win in G6, they must be very cautious in controlling the turnovers and need to handle the game in the right way.

Halliburton played with injuries, leaving few opportunities for the Pacers to tolerate mistakes. Should the Thunder win the championship in one go or should the Pacers use their lives to drag this round of series to tiebreak? Fans, let's wait and see!
