OKLAHOMA CITY — With the stage set at the Paycom Center, Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Jalen Williams addressed the fans, the ambiance, and the anticipation that awaits Oklahoma City's first Game 7 of the NBA Finals. With their season on the line, Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sent a message to his team before facing the Indiana Pacers.

After Jalen Williams' huge Game 5, the potential clincher for the Thunder is Thursday in Indianapolis with a Pacers star looking hindered.

As the Oklahoma City Thunder look to clinch their first championship since relocating from Seattle with just one more win in the NBA Finals, the front office is also looking ahead to the summer when two of their best young players can sign contract extensions.
