This year’s NBA Finals have been nothing short of electric.
What started as a matchup between two teams with something to prove has turned into one of the most intense, evenly matched Finals we’ve seen in years. The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers are now tied 3–3, and it all comes down to Game 7 this Sunday, June 22, in OKC.
There’s no more speculation, no more momentum talk. Just 48 minutes to decide who lifts the trophy.
Game 6 Recap:
Backs against the wall. Win or go home. The Pacers didn’t just survive they delivered a statement.
With their season on the line, Indiana came out locked in and left no doubt, beating the Thunder 108–91 on their home floor. Obi Toppin was everywhere finishing with 20 points and sparking the team with energy plays that turned the tide early.
Meanwhile, Tyrese Haliburton, playing through a calf strain, showed why he’s the heartbeat of this team. He didn’t need to score 30; his presence, decision-making, and calm under pressure helped steady the Pacers throughout the game. Even on one good leg, he made the difference.
Defensively, Indiana clamped down. The Thunder couldn’t find their rhythm, and when they tried to rally, the Pacers always had an answer.
Game 7: Everything on the Line(NBA)
Now, it’s winner-take-all. No more talk just one game to decide it all.
Oklahoma City has the advantage of playing Game 7 at home. Their young core Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Williams has looked ready for this moment all year. They’re fast, skilled, and confident. But they’ve never been here before. This is uncharted territory.
On the other side, Indiana has momentum. They’ve won tough games on the road before. And most importantly, they look like a team playing with nothing to lose.
Expect a physical, emotional, and possibly unforgettable Game 7. Both teams want this badly. And both are good enough to take it.
Around the League:
While the Finals dominate headlines, the rest of the league isn’t standing still. Trade rumors are already starting to swirl.
The biggest name Kevin Durant. Reports suggest he may be looking for a change of scenery again, with teams like the Spurs, Heat, and Rockets being floated. It’s early, but wherever Durant goes next will instantly become a title contender.
The Warriors are also making noise. They’re reportedly exploring a trade to land Bradley Beal, hoping to squeeze one more championship run out of the Stephen Curry era.
And there’s already been one big move Desmond Bane has been traded to the Orlando Magic, giving their young core a much-needed scoring punch.
Media Shake-Up:
In what feels like the end of an era, TNT will no longer broadcast NBA games starting next season.
That means no more Tuesday night doubleheaders. No more “Inside the NBA” right after the buzzer. For fans who grew up watching Shaq, Chuck, Kenny, and Ernie break down games with humor and honesty, it’s a tough pill to swallow.
But the NBA isn’t going dark just shifting. Starting next season, games will be aired across ESPN, NBC, and Amazon Prime Video. It’s a new chapter, one aimed at reaching more fans across platforms.
The hope is that familiar faces will stick around in new places. But it’s definitely going to look and feel different.
What’s Coming After the Finals ?
Once the confetti falls and the trophy is raised, the NBA calendar keeps rolling.
- The NBA Draft is up next a fresh wave of rookies will enter the league, and teams will look to find their next franchise star.
- Free agency kicks off right after, and we could see big names on the move.
- Summer League begins shortly after, giving us our first glimpse of young players in action.
For NBA fans, there really is no offseason.
There’s something special about a Game 7. Everything’s on the line. The pressure is sky-high. Heroes are born, mistakes are magnified, and every possession matters.
This isn’t just the Thunder vs. the Pacers anymore. It’s about pride. It’s about legacy. It’s about a group of players who started the season with dreams of this exact moment and now it’s here.
Who takes the crown ? Will the Thunder’s youth shine brightest on the biggest stage? Or will Indiana complete their underdog run and bring home the franchise’s first-ever title ?
We’re just a few hours away from finding out.
