Summary

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder took Game 5 and now lead the series 3-2. With 40 points, Amin's Jalen Williams made a big splash. Meanwhile, Haliburton made zero field goals and his calf injury is a huge detriment to the Pacers’ Finals run. Who was that star in the third quarter? God disguised as Michael Jordan disguised as TJ McConnell, that’s who! Can he do a good enough Haliburton impression for the Pacers to win Game 6? Plus, we discuss broadcasting the starting lineup intros, Desmond Bane traded to the Orlando Magic, and the Iciest Play of the Week. Learn more about your ad choices.
