On June 17, the NBA Finals Battle of Kings Mountain started. The Thunder defeated the Pacers 120-109 at home, leading 3-2 to get the match point.

Just as the first quarter started, the Thunder took the lead, Alexander was in excellent condition, and frequently succeeded, leading the Thunder to the lead, and at the same time, he also gave the Thunder a great oppressiveness on the defensive end. The Pacers' offense was extremely difficult, and the Thunder's overall offense was smoother, blooming at multiple points, leading the Pacers into the second quarter 32-22.

The Thunder continued to maintain a good state in the second quarter, and continued to perform wonderful cooperation on the offensive end, and Alexander exploded in an all-round way. The Pacers' Halliburton strained his calf in the first quarter and was in poor condition in this quarter, making 0 of 5 shots but failed to score a single point. The Thunder substitutes Wiggins and Wallace felt hot in three-pointers, and the Thunder gradually widened the gap and led the Pacers 59-45 into the second half.

The Pacers sent McConnell to the third quarter. McConnell was in a hot state and had strong offensive firepower. He contributed 13 points in a single quarter, helping the team narrow the gap to single digits. But the Thunder did not perform badly, especially Jiewei, who scored on the offensive end like a scoop. He relied on his sharp performance to withstand the Pacers' offensive frenzy, allowing the team to enter the fourth quarter with the lead.

The Pacers continued to chase points in the fourth quarter, but the Thunder's defensive strength increased, and Chet Homgren was full of deterrence in the inside, and made blocks many times, blocking the Pacers' offense. However, Siakam performed well in this quarter, scoring in double digits in a single quarter, leading the team to narrow the gap to 2 points. However, Alexander and Jewe joined forces to fight back, Dort also made a three-pointer, and the Thunder withstood the pressure and regained the lead. In the last 1 minute and 51 seconds, Carlisle saw no hope of turning around, and he withdrew his main force and announced his surrender.
