Jalen Williams joined a rare 40-point NBA Finals club Monday night in the Thunder's 120-109 win over the Pacers in Game 5 to move OKC a win away from the title.

He struggled to create his own shot at the outset of the night, and while he had a few dunks, he missed a couple of floaters (one from each side of the basket) and a couple of midrange shots in the first quarter.

In the most pivotal game of these NBA Finals, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 15 of OKC's final 16 points as the Thunder stormed back to stun the Pacers in Game 4 to tie the series. That's what everyone was talking about.

Oklahoma City forward Jalen Williams became the fifth-youngest player to score 40 or more points in NBA Finals history Monday night.

Williams had 40 points, six rebounds and four assists in the Thunder's 120-109 win over the Indiana Pacers in Game 5, helping his team take a 3-2 lead in the series and move just one win from the NBA title.
