MM 6.23: Aaron Wiggins captures NBA championship with Oklahoma City Thunder

Maryland basketball alum Aaron Wiggins won the NBA Championship with the Oklahoma City Thunder Sunday night. The Thunder took down the Indiana Pacers in Game 7, 103-91.

Wiggins is now just the fourth-ever Terp to win an NBA championship as a player, joining Tony Massenburg (San Antonio, 2005), Keith Booth (Chicago Bulls, 1998) and Adrian Branch (Los Angeles Lakers, 1987).

In 12 minutes of action Sunday, Wiggins posted a single rebound. In his fourth season with Oklahoma City, he averaged a career-high 12 points per game across 76 contests. His 18 points against the Pacers in Game 2 of the Finals marked the third-most points by a Terp in a championship series match.
