Thunder, NBA Finals and Chet Holmgren
Digest more
It was a full-on Jalen Williams takeover in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, as he poured in a playoff career-high 40 points in what amounted to the greatest game of his career so far.
Holmgren has shown his toughness in this series. In Game 4, he rolled his ankle but still logged 37 minutes and posted 14 points with a game-high 15 rebounds. His defense late in the game was huge. Indiana went at him in isolation, but Holmgren stood tall, making crucial plays, forcing tough contested shots and being an overall disrupter.
