The Thunder maintained the output from the outside in the second quarter, and Wiggins made two consecutive three-pointers.

The Pacers were restricted by the Thunder's unlimited anti-lock replacement in the first half. It can be said that the game was quite passive. Halliburton's injury also had a great impact on his condition. His 0 points in the half also allowed the Pacers to fall behind double digits shortly after the start of the first quarter, and were in a situation of falling behind and chasing points for a long time. In this game, Siakam scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Turner scored 13 points and 6 rebounds. The two led the team to hold on to the score for a while. McConnell scored in double digits in the third quarter, helping the team to catch the gap to 6 points; however, Harry Potterton's condition was sluggish, which eventually led to the team losing the game in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. The 2-3 behind in the series is not good news for the Pacers, and Halliburton's injury situation will also become a key factor affecting the trend of G6 and this round of series.

The Thunder relied on the performance of three core players to open up the situation. As the game progressed, Jaylen Williams ushered in an explosion, making 40 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, setting a new high in his playoff career. Alexander recovered in the second half and scored 31 points and gave 10 assists. Wiggins and Wallace on the bench had firepower support outside the three-point line to help the team maintain the lead. In the end, the Thunder won the G5 game at home. In this game, the Thunder's overall shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage, fast break scores, and inside scores were all advantageous, and they scored more than ten points more than the Pacers by using the turnover. After the game, they caused more than a dozen mistakes from their opponents.

The current score between the two teams is 3:2. The Thunder have already won the championship point with the lead, only one victory away from winning the championship trophy. Halliburton's right calf was covered with black sports tape on the walker. Medical experts said he might have problems with the soleus muscle/Achilles tendon, which is very troublesome for the walker. Do you think the G6 is the Pacers winning the game back or the Thunder Final Series?
