Tied at 3-3, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers face off one last time for the 2025 NBA championship
MANILA, Philippines – For the first time since 2016, the NBA crown will be disputed in a Game 7.
All tied up at 3-3, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers face off one last time for the 2025 NBA championship on Sunday, June 22 (Monday, June 23, Manila time).
With their backs against the wall, the Pacers lived to fight another day after a dominant 108-91 home win over the Thunder in Game 6.
The Pacers banked on a total team effort to force a Game 7 as six players reached double-digit scoring, with big man Obi Toppin emerging as the unlikely hero with 20 points.
Despite nursing a calf injury, Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton managed to come up with 14 points, 5 assists, and 2 steals in the blowout victory that saw Indiana lead by 22 points at halftime.
As the series shifts back to Oklahoma City for the winner-take-all clash, expect a huge bounce-back game from league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander after he was held to a finals-low 21 points and was forced to commit a career-playoff-worst 8 turnovers in Game 6.
Aside from Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder will also need more contributions from their starters Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, and Lu Dort, who all combined for just 23 points in the previous contest.
With only 48 minutes to decide the champion, which team will deliver its first-ever NBA title to its city?
Game time is 8 am. – Rappler.com
