Pacers Force Game Seven with Dominant Win Over Thunder in NBA Finals

Posted : 20 June 2025

The Indiana Pacers have extended the NBA Finals to a dramatic Game 7 after defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 108-91 in Game 6 on Sunday. It marks the first time in nine years that the Finals will be decided by a winner-takes-all game, with the last instance occurring in 2016. In front of their home fans in Indianapolis, the Pacers delivered a commanding performance, fueled by Obi Toppin’s 20 points off the bench and a well-balanced team effort.

 

Tyrese Haliburton made a timely return after missing Game 5 due to a calf injury. Despite limited minutes, the All-Star guard contributed 14 points, five assists, and two steals, providing a much-needed boost to Indiana’s offense.

 

 Speaking after the game, Haliburton said the team was motivated to protect their home court and avoid watching the Thunder celebrate a championship in Indianapolis. "It was a whole team effort," he emphasized, praising the resilience of the squad.

 

The Thunder, who had a chance to clinch the title, were out of rhythm from the start, missing their first eight shots and quickly falling behind. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, recently crowned the league’s MVP, led his team with 21 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Indiana’s intensity. Thunder coach Mark Daigneault acknowledged his team’s shortcomings, saying, “They outplayed us for most of the 48 minutes.”

 

With the series tied at 3-3, the stage is now set for Game 7 on Monday in Oklahoma City. It will be just the 20th time in NBA history that the Finals have gone the distance, and statistics favor the home side, who have won 15 of the previous 19 Game 7s. The Thunder will be chasing their first championship since 1979, while the Pacers are aiming to make history with their first-ever NBA title.
