The Oklahoman
Justin Martinez: OKC 115, Indiana 107
What Just Martinez writes: “Closing out a series on the road is tough, and OKC will face a hostile environment inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse. But, after passing every test so far this postseason, I think the Thunder is ready for this moment. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams are playing elite basketball right now, and OKC’s defense continues to look like the best in the league. Indiana will surely put up a fight at home, but it’ll struggle to keep up if Tyrese Haliburton is hindered by his calf injury. I’m picking the Thunder to win Game 6 and secure its first-ever championship.”
