OKLAHOMA CITY — Tyrese Haliburton is going to play in Game 6. “It’s the Finals, man,” Haliburton said. “I’ve worked my whole life to be here and I want to be out there to compete. Help my teammates any way I can.”

The Oklahoma City Thunder did their job with a 120-109 Game 5 win over the Indiana Pacers. A 3-2 series lead in the 2025 NBA Finals has them on the cusp of their first championship.

Pacers forward Jarace Walker has been ruled out of Game 5 with a sprained right ankle and Rick Carlisle said it's unlikely he'll appear in the Finals.

The Indiana Pacers were so close to taking a 3-1 series lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2025 NBA Finals. But poor execution down the stretch of the game allowed the Thunder to make an epic comeback.

Aaron Wiggins says Oklahoma City Thunder won't let title temptations distract from Game 6 against Indiana Pacers.
