Different Paths, Same Destination for the Thunder and Pacers, Who Will Face Off in the NBA Finals
- The 2025 NBA Finals will start on June 5 at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, featuring the Oklahoma City Thunder against the Indiana Pacers.
- The Thunder dominated the Western Conference most of the season with a 61-13 record since December 13, while the Pacers were underdogs with 50-1 preseason title odds from BetMGM.
- Oklahoma City eliminated Denver and Minnesota in the playoffs, and Indiana reached the Finals after beating the New York Knicks 125-108 in the Eastern Conference Finals.
- Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said, "and so it becomes an all or nothing thing," while Thunder guard Jalen Williams noted, "You kind of lose sight of the fact that you've got to win one to get to four."
- This matchup between two small-market teams signals continued NBA parity and will test league appeal with well-coached, competitive squads lacking mainstream star power.
