Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander keeps it 100 about Jalen Williams' growth over the years before Game 5 of the NBA Finals. For Gilgeous-Alexander, Williams' versatility and ever-growing talent are what make him so valuable to the Thunder's quest for an NBA title.

OKC sits two wins away from an NBA title. Part of their success comes from what Mark Daigneault calls a flat locker room.

The Oklahoma City Thunder responded to the pressure of a 2-1 series deficit with composure, adjustments, and a superstar performance from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers meet in Game 3 of the NBA Finals Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

The Thunder's do-it-all energizer and defensive menace has been a bigger part of the offense, and his playing time has increased accordingly in the most important games of the season.

Williams said he doesn’t worry about whether shots go in because his confidence comes from his complete game. He’s a willing passer and a second-team All-Defense selection.

Why Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault is entering Game 5 of the NBA Finals with a unique approach against the Pacers. For Daigneault, that’s no recipe for sustained success, especially on the biggest stage — the NBA Finals — with an opportunity to push the Pacers to the brink of elimination in Game 5.
