Given the way Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton was limping on his way out of the postgame news conference after Game 5 of the NBA Finals, it’s safe to assume he’s a fan of the schedule right about now.

The Thunder are one win from their first NBA title since the team moved from Seattle in 2008. The Pacers are on the brink of elimination.

Jalen Williams scored a tough contested floater to close the third quarter and extend OKC's lead to 87-79. The Thunder needed the bucket after a 13-point outburst from T.J. McConnell allowed the Pacers to eat into OKC's 14-point halftime lead.

While Tyrese Haliburton dealt with a calf injury during the Indiana Pacers' 120-109 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday, it doesn't sound like he has any plans of sitting out Thursday's Game 6.
