Ladies and gentlemen, we have a match 7 in the 2025 NBA final. The Indiana Pacers completely dominated the Oklahoma City Thunder during a 108-91 match 6 victory Thursday to send the series to Oklahoma City with the title online. The Sunday’s final will be the conclusion of an exciting series and will put an arc on the 2024-25 NBA season.
The Thunder is back in the NBA final for the first time since 2012 after eliminating the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games in the Western Conference final. The Pacers, on the other hand, eliminated the New York Knicks in six games to reach the final for the first time since 2000.
The Thunder, which won 68 regular season games and now has 12-5 in the playoff series, entered the series as a favorite to win the title. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is looking to become the first player to win the MVP Prize and an NBA title in the same season since Stephen Curry succeeded in 2015.
In the East, the Pacers have succeeded in several incredible returns this single qualifying series, including an astonishing match 1 which handed the Knicks on their heels during the final of the conference. They mainly repeated this in match 1 against the Thunder in the final.
The post-season field has now been reduced by 20 teams for two. The Kings, Mavericks, Bulls and Hawks were ousted in the game tournament. Grizzlies, Clippers, Lakers, Rockets, Heat, Bucks, Pistons and Magic lost in the first round, and the Nuggets, the Warriors, the Cavaliers and the Celtics reached the second round before falling back. We said goodbye to the Timberwolves and the Knicks during the conference finals to get to where we are now – the Homestretch.
