The probability of winning the championship is 74%! The Thunder wins Tianwang Mountain and wins the match point, only 1 win away from 46 years to reach the second championship

On June 17, in the 2025 NBA Finals G5 Tianwang Mountain, the Thunder returned to home court and continued to suppress the Pacers, and when they were chased by the Pacers to only lead by 2 points, the score was opened again in the final moments. Under the outstanding performance of Alexander and Jaylen, the Thunder bench players performed well, successfully helped the Thunder win the Tianwangshan victory and expand the total score to lead 3-2 to win the match point. According to past NBA Finals experience, the team that won the first 31 times in Tianwangshan has a probability of winning the championship as high as 74%. The Thunder won the second championship in team history after 46 years.

The Thunder won 18 more games than the Pacers in the regular season. Before the finals started, the outside world was almost optimistic that the Thunder would win the championship. However, in the first four games of the finals, the Thunder fell behind in total score twice, which was surprisingly true. After all, the Thunder missed 15 points in the first game and led by Halliburton in 0.3 seconds.

After equalizing the total score in the second game, the Thunder lost 1-2 in the third game. By the fourth game, the Thunder would almost lose another game and fall behind by 1-3 in total, but Alexander's magical performance of 15 points in less than 5 minutes and the "field control" of the referee who was criticized by the public for Foster, allowed the Thunder to catch up to 2-2 in total.

Now that the Thunder returned to the home court, they not only temporarily lag the Pacers by 3 points at the beginning, but then they gradually suppressed the Pacers offense and defense, and gradually expanded their double-digit lead. Although the Pacers are still fighting back and seeking points, Halliburton is troubled by injury factors, and he chooses to fight with injuries and greatly affects his condition.

The Thunder was led by the outstanding performance of Alexander and Jaylen. In addition, bench players such as Wiggins and Wallace also performed well, leading the Thunder to lead the advantage by 18 points in the first half, and maintained a 14-point advantage at the end of the first two quarters.

The Pacers continued to counterattack and chased the single-digit gap, especially at the beginning of the last quarter, they had only 2 points behind. However, the Thunder then expanded their lead again, which ultimately blocked the Pacers' tenacious counterattack and chased the score. The Thunder finally successfully won the battle of Tianwangshan at home, leading the match point 3-2 in total, just one step away from winning the championship.

In the history of the NBA Finals, after maintaining a total score of 2-2 in the first 31 first four games, the team that won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain won the championship 23 times, with a probability of winning the championship as high as 74%, and only 8 teams failed to win the championship. The Thunder are only one win away from winning the championship. Alexander won his first career championship with his sword aiming, and also led the team to win the second championship in team history.
