The 2025 NBA Finals are less than a week away, and the championship matchup is finally set. The Oklahoma City Thunder are back in the NBA Finals, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has led the franchise to the title round for the first time in 13 years. Who will the Thunder play? The Indiana Pacers, who dispatched the New York Knicks in a thrilling six-game series.
The 2025 NBA Finals get started Thursday, June 5. The Thunder will have home-court advantage against Indiana, since OKC won an NBA-best 68 games in the regular season and was the top seed in the West. It will be the first NBA Finals appearance since 2000 for the Pacers, and since 2012 for OKC.
