With things looking dire, Gilgeous-Alexander went back to being a no-nonsense scorer. He scored nine points in the final frame to put the Pacers away. Each time he went to the free-throw line, he was met with the loudest MVP chants he's probably heard in his entire career.

In Game 5 of the NBA Finals, he showed he's pretty good as a more traditional point guard, too. He had 31 points and 10 assists in a secondary role to Jalen Williams as the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers 120-109 on Monday night. The Thunder took a 3-2 lead in the series and now are a win short of their first NBA title.
