The Thunder are one win from their first NBA title since the team moved from Seattle in 2008. The Pacers are on the brink of elimination.

Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander joined elite company with his historic performance in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Throughout NBA history, few teams have reached the mountaintop without a bona fide superstar in the No. 2 role.

All games of the NBA Finals will be aired on ABC. Monday — Game 5, Indiana at Oklahoma City, 8:30 p.m. EDT Thursday — Game 6, Oklahoma City at Indiana, 8:30 p.m. EDT June 22 — Game 7, Indiana at Oklahoma City, if necessary, 8 p.m. EDT

No team in NBA history has scored more points in a season than the Thunder. That gave the Thunder 12,162 for the season, breaking the mark of 12,161 scored by the Golden State Warriors in 104 games during the 2018-19 season.

NBA fans have begged ESPN/ABC to make the NBA Finals feel a little more like an NBA Finals. Apparently, the TV executives have listened.

Responding to fan criticism, ABC will broadcast the full starting lineup introductions for Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers, marking the first time since 2013.
