The NBA Finals of 2025 ended on June 22, 2025, when the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers with a score of 103−91 in an exciting seventh game at the Paycom Center.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder was awarded the NBA Finals MVP after leading his team to a 103−91 victory in the seventh game against the Indiana Pacers. He averaged 30.3 points, 12 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.9 steals per game in the series, becoming one of the few players to win the MVP award for the regular season, scoring champion, and Finals MVP in one season.
«It feels unreal», - Gilgeous-Alexander told ESPN after the game. «So many hours. So many moments. So many emotions. So many nights of doubt. So many nights of belief. It’s incredible to know that we’re all here. This group put in the work. This group put in the hours. And we deserve this».
Yes, technically. The 2025 victory marked the first NBA championship for the Oklahoma City Thunder since relocating from Seattle in 2008 and their first title as the Thunder. However, the franchise originally started as the Seattle SuperSonics, who won their only NBA title in 1979 by defeating the Washington Bullets in five games. Stars like Dennis Johnson, Jack Sikma, and Gus Williams played on that championship team, coached by the legendary Lenny Wilkens.
No, the Indiana Pacers have not yet won an NBA championship. Their performance in the 2025 finals was their first since 2000.
Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton suffered a torn Achilles tendon at the beginning of the seventh game, ending his season and significantly impacting Indiana’s offensive game. He was also listed as questionable for the sixth game due to a calf strain
