OKC Thunder's Jalen Williams Scripts Unwanted NBA History In Blowout Game 6 Loss vs Pacers
Last Updated: Williams had a historic low in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, with a -40 +/- as the Thunder lost 108-91 to the Pacers. The series is now tied 3-3, with Game 7 set for Sunday. From scoring a whopping 40 points in Game 5 to registering a dismal -40 +/- total today, the OKC Thunder's Jalen Williams had a historic night in Indiana he'd like to forget as soon as possible. A hobbled Haliburton, backed by his relentless Pacers teammates, dismantled the SGA-led Thunder in a 108-91 blowout win in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Thursday, forcing a Game 7 for the winner to take all the spoils. Hundreds of confident Oklahoma City fans who flocked to the Paycom Center expecting to celebrate the Thunder's first NBA championship on Thursday night headed for the exits when their team fell behind by 30 points. Williams couldn't replicate his success from Game 5, finishing with just 16 points, 3 rebounds, and a staggering plus-minus of -40 — the worst in NBA Finals history, according to Basketball Reference. The previous record of -38 was held by Jrue Holiday, set during last year's Finals when he was with the Boston Celtics in Game 4 against the Dallas Mavericks. For comparison's sake, Williams was a game-high +14 in his much-discussed Game 5 masterpiece. The Thunder brought a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series into Game 6 in Indianapolis, only for everything to go wrong, as superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was left dismayed. Yet, all that he could do was watch helplessly as Pascal Siakam slam-dunked an exclamation point of a bucket onto his head. Till Game 6, the 24-year-old Williams had averaged 25.8 PPG, 5.6 RPG, and 4.2 APG this series, with his rise in the last three games having elevated the Thunder to astronomical levels. Yet, it seems like they have still fallen one step short of a much-craved NBA Championship, and when the lights shone the brightest, Williams folded in the worst of fashions. 'We didn't do a good job trusting each other to make the next play like we did Game 5," Williams expounded in a post-game conference. 'That starts with me being better.. Good news is we have another game to figure it out." One can expect Williams and co. to regain their mojo back home when the Thunder and the Pacers set out to script history for their franchises in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, scheduled to take place this coming Sunday.
