FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas men's basketball standouts Isaiah Joe and Jaylin Williams became NBA Finals champions with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.

The Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers 103-91 to clinch their first title in franchise history. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who played for Calipari at Kentucky, won the series MVP award.

Neither played in Game 7, but Joe played in five games and Williams played in three in the championship series.
