- The NBA's final four teams—Oklahoma City Thunder, New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Indiana Pacers—are set for the championship race as of May 2025.
- Key injuries to Damian Lillard, Jayson Tatum, and Stephen Curry, plus Cleveland's early exit despite being top East seed, contributed to this unexpected final four configuration.
- The Thunder hold a strong advantage in head-to-head matchups among the four finalists with a 6-2 record, having won all their games against both the Pacers and Knicks, while the Pacers prevailed in every matchup against the Timberwolves.
- Minnesota coach Chris Finch emphasized that the team needs to secure eight more victories to reach their highest objective, while Pacers coach Rick Carlisle encouraged aiming high by saying, "Big dreams are essential," reflecting their championship aspirations.
- The NBA continues its era of parity with no Finals MVPs remaining in playoffs and a record seven different champions over seven years, as Commissioner Adam Silver prepares to award the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
