Jalen Williams’ 40 Points: A Rare Bright Spot in OKC’s Inconsistent Finals Performance
Jalen Williams finally showed up with 40 points, dragging OKC to a 3-2 lead in the 2025 NBA Finals. Let’s not get carried away, though. One good game doesn’t make a season. The Thunder had a stellar 68-14 record, but where’s that dominance been in the Finals? They’ve been inconsistent, and it’s embarrassing for a team that was supposed to be the best.
Williams was the only one who looked like he wanted to win. The rest of the team? They might as well have been on holiday. It’s the Finals, lads. Wake up. The defense was sloppy, and the offense was all over the place. If it wasn’t for Williams, they’d be staring at a deficit.
The hype around this team has been ridiculous. They need to prove they’re not just regular-season wonders. The Finals are where legends are made, not where you coast on past glories. The Thunder need to stop believing their own press and start playing like they mean it.
Williams deserves credit for stepping up, but he can’t do it alone. The rest of the squad needs to pull their weight. If they don’t, they’ll be watching the trophy slip away. It’s time for some hard truths and even harder work. No more excuses. Get it done.
