Oklahoma City Thunder Crowned NBA Champions After Game 7 Triumph

Posted : 23 June 2025

For the first time since their relocation from Seattle in 2008, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been crowned NBA champions. In a hard-fought and emotional Game 7, the Thunder outplayed the Indiana Pacers 103–91 on their home court, capping off a season of dominance with their first title in franchise history. The victory marked a dramatic finish to a Finals series that went the distance, and it was a fitting end for a team that has been building toward this moment for years.

 

The Thunder's path to the championship was anything but easy. After sweeping Memphis in the first round, they overcame the defending champion Denver Nuggets in seven games and outlasted Minnesota in the Western Conference Finals. In the NBA Finals, Indiana pushed them to the edge, but Oklahoma City’s resilience and depth proved too much.

 

Game 7 saw Shai Gilgeous-Alexander deliver another MVP-worthy performance with 29 points, 12 assists, and 5 rebounds, completing a campaign in which he was named regular season MVP, Finals MVP, and league top scorer.

 

The game itself turned on the early exit of Indiana's star, Tyrese Haliburton, who suffered a leg injury in the first quarter and did not return. Without their leader, the Pacers put up a fight but could not match Oklahoma City's firepower.

 

 Jaylen Williams contributed 20 points, while Chet Holmgren added 18 points, 8 rebounds, and a Finals Game 7 record of 7 blocks. Despite falling short, Indiana earned praise for a gutsy playoff run that saw them upset top-tier Eastern opponents and take the Finals to the limit.

 

The Thunder's championship is the culmination of a rebuilding process masterminded by general manager Sam Presti, who began assembling this roster after the departures of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden.

 

Through patient drafting and savvy trades—including the acquisition of Gilgeous-Alexander—the team turned years of lottery picks into a balanced, deep, and hungry contender. With a young and improving core, Oklahoma City now not only celebrates a historic title but also looks poised for future success in the NBA.
