Oklahoma City Thunder defeat Indiana Pacers 103-91
Thunder Takes Home the Title in a 7‑Game Thriller
The Oklahoma City Thunder pulled off a dramatic Game 7 win at home, making it the first NBA Finals Game 7 in seven years. The last time fans watched a full seven‑game finale was back in 2016 when the Cavaliers and Warriors last‑minute showdown finished the series.
From Seattle to OKC – The Thunder’s Journey
- Founded in 2008 after moving from the Seattle Supersonics
- Finished the regular season with a 68‑14 record
- Only five wins shy of the historic 73‑9 mark set by the 2016 Warriors

Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander: The QB of the Championship

The Dark Horse: Indiana’s Battle & Tyrese’s Injury
All‑Star guard Tyrese Haliburton was the Pacers’ spark plug. He had a hot start – nine points early on – before a disastrous slide in the second half tore his Achilles. The crowd fell silent, and the Pacers lost their leading playmaker.
- Haliburton’s injury forced Travis McConnell, Pascal Siakam, and Bennedict Mathurin into the spotlight.
- Despite a 1‑point halftime lead, the Thunder tightened their defense in the second half.
- The Pacers fought valiantly, but the Oklahoma City adjustments proved decisive.
Champions of the 2024‑25 NBA Season
