Will SGA and the Thunder clinch the Finals tonight?
Shai Gilgeous Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder are one win away from winning an NBA Championship.
The Thunder and Pacers will face off in Game 6 of the NBA Finals tonight, with the Thunder looking to clinch their first title in franchise history and the Pacers looking to force a Game 7 in Oklahoma City.
The Thunder picked up a pivotal win in Game 5 Monday night, as Jalen Williams scored 40 points. However, SGA scored 31 in the win and former Wildcat Cason Wallace came up big, scoring 11 points including a trio of three-pointers.
The Thunder have the momentum now by winning back-to-back games as the series heads to Indianapolis for Game 6. On top of that, Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton is questionable due to a calf strain. It’s hard to imagine Haliburton doesn’t play with the season on the line, but the question is how effective will he be?
Can SGA and Cason Wallace help lead the Thunder to their first NBA title tonight? Tip-off is set for 8:30 ET.
