PREVIEW
The Pacers and OKC clash in Game 5 of the NBA Finals at Paycom Center on Monday night with the series tied 2-2.
The Thunder bounced back in Game 4 with a 111-104 road win, leaning on their dominance in the paint and sharp free-throw shooting to get it done.
Oklahoma City outscored Indiana 50-36 in the paint and hit 34-38 (89.5%) from the line, while the Pacers managed just 25-33 (75.8%). Shai Gilgeous-Alexander starred again with 35 points and three steals, backed by 27 from Jalen Williams.
Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 20 points, eight boards, and five steals (equaling a career-high), but it wasn’t enough to stop the Thunder, who are now 11-1 from their last 12 games when Gilgeous-Alexander scores 35+, with the lone loss coming in Game 1 of this series.
PICK – INDIANA +9.5
