Still days away from Game 1, Jalen Williams sees some similarities between the Thunder and Pacers. Sure, OKC was a winning machine in the regular season and a buzzsaw in the West playoffs and Indiana got hot at the right time, but both teams have more in common than the average fan might think.

Jalen Williams Has Clear Message After Thunder's NBA Finals Berth originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Oklahoma City Thunder are back in the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012. They'll hope this trip goes better than the last one, when they fell to LeBron James and the Miami Heat in five games.

The Oklahoma City Thunder brings an all-time great defense to the NBA Finals, while the Indiana Pacers counter with an all-time offense.
