2025 NBA FINALS: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Indiana Pacers (IND leads 1-0)

Is anyone surprised? This is what the pacers do. OKC needs to win the next one, or this could be a short series.

Pacers win despite a whopping -18 turnover differential.

One way to overcome that is hitting 7 more 3s and 17 more rebounds.

That dude was cooking everyone. He’s real. That’s just highest level stuff on the biggest stage. Very impressive winning player.

BTW, this is probably the closest the Pacers will get to a championship. OKC will adjust.

If Indiana wins game 2 it's over.

Don’t you EVER count the Pacers out!

Pacers shot over 46% from 3 on 39 attempts.

Hali is having the most clutch season of all time

ogmagicfan · Post #1670 » by **ogmagicfan** » Fri Jun 6, 2025 3:11 am

Fair to say Hali is a top 10 player in the NBA now?

You have a chance against OKC if it's striking distance laye. Their late game offense is terrible

Haliburton omg

The gambler in me is happy. I was hoping the Pacers would steal a game so I could unload on the Thunder. Let’s see how much the odds change…

Literally no one saw a foul there lol

be serious man, thats foul 10 out of 10 times, he pushed him out of bounds, should have been one of the easiest calls of the night.

Siakam pushes him twice first. Wallace gets his hand on the ball. Not a foul for anyone who actually watched the play.

SGA did his part

It was Chet and J Dub who let the Thunder down..

Thay shot by Haliburton was incredible, I would guess it was only a 10 percent chance of going in for most players, but Hali is a different type of player.

Nah he missed a dagger jumper with no one in his face..

Didn't see that one coming.

Good work Indy.

They would have had a shot clock violation. They had to take a shot.

I been telling people Nembhard is a starting PG on another team. Any team who needs one should trade for him. He's so dirt cheap for Pacers right now but he's earning a big paycheck with his 2nd contract. The guy is a 6'5" PG/CG.

Which team becomes 2025 NBA Champions?
