Jiewei won Tianwang Mountain with 40 points! He crushed his strength! He was only 3 minutes behind in 3 home games!

Today is almost a familiar bad situation for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Just 11 days ago, the Thunder dominated most of the first game of the NBA Finals at Paycom Center, but the Thunder gave up the victory at the last minute thanks to Tyrese Haliburton's 0.3s jump shot.

The same formula seems to be played in Game 5 tonight due to the chance to win the team's first NBA championship by a win. The Thunders lead by up to 18 points, and the Thunder’s lead has narrowed to 95-93 after Pascal Siakam — playing his latest in the playoffs for the Indiana Pacers — threw a three-pointer with 8:30 left in regular time today.

However, Oklahoma City did not let the game slip away, but instead—as did in the fourth quarter of Game 4—submission and sent out the latest knockout blow from the playoffs. With a series of crazy defensive tactics, coupled with some excellent shots from Jay Williams and Shay Gilgius-Alexander, it could have been their second devastating home defeat in the series, which turned into a Thunder 120-109 victory. The decisive moment of

OKC's victory was played in the style that the Thunder created one of the greatest seasons in NBA history. They forced one mistake after another to fly around, making the Pacers' offense messed up. And on the other end, their two main scorers - Gilgius Alexander (31 points) and Williams (40 points) completed all the required scoring shots in the game.

This is in sharp contrast to what is happening on the other end. Tyrese Haliburton deals with tight right calf issues and misses all 6 of his shots – only once in the second half. The Pacers had 22 turnovers that night, Oklahoma City used the turnover to score 32 points, and the Thunder even surpassed the Pacers in 3-point range, 14 against Indiana 11!

The Thunder led 141 minutes in a total of 144 minutes in three games at Oklahoma City. When the series begins, there is a general expectation to get that kind of control from the highly favored Thunder. Things look very different in Indianapolis, with the series moving in Game 6 Friday. While Halliburton’s health will be severe, if Oklahoma City can get close to replicating its Game 5 performance, the team’s first Larry O’Brien Trophy may end up being in front of us
