OKC on the Brink of a Dynasty, Angel Reese Silences Doubters | HARD PASS Ep. 5

 

Game 5 of the Finals gave us another heart-stopper — OKC is now one win away from a championship, and maybe the start of a dynasty. But while the spotlight’s on the NBA, Angel Reese quietly made WNBA history… and somehow, she’s still catching heat.

 

Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Pacers and Thunder took place on June 16, 2025.
