Pacers fight to the end in Game 7 loss

The 2025 NBA Champions needed seven games and one torn Achilles to beat the Pacers Sunday night. Why it matters: Oklahoma City's triumph brings Indiana's historic — and at times magical — postseason run to a heartbreaking conclusion and keeps our basketball-loving city NBA championship-starved for another season. Driving the news: The Pacers lost 91-103 to the Thunder. OKC's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added NBA Finals MVP honors to his league MVP credentials after dropping 29 points and 12 assists in Game 7. Zoom in: A gut-wrenching moment for Pacers fans came with 4:55 left in the first quarter when Tyrese Haliburton collapsed to the court in pain. Reports of a torn Achilles that began to roll in after the All-Star was helped to the sidelines, confirming that Haliburton would once again have to watch his team finish the postseason from the sidelines. Yes, but: The toughness that defined Indiana's postseason run was on full display as the team continued to trade leads with Oklahoma City for the remainder of the first half despite losing their superstar point guard. That resilience wasn't enough to keep the Thunder contained after the break, and a third quarter that saw the Pacers outscored 34-20 was too much to overcome without the threat of another Haliburton game-winner in the chamber. Between the lines: Fans can take solace in knowing one of the best Pacers teams ever may get another crack at NBA title immortality, barring any significant offseason shakeups. A top priority should be locking down Myles Turner, the longest tenured Pacer, with a new deal. The center is set to enter free agency this summer, and word is the Phoenix Suns have shown interest. The rest of last night's starting lineup will return: Aaron Nesmith is under contract through 2027; Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard through 2028; and Haliburton through 2029. Others hitting the free agent market this summer are Thomas Bryant, James Johnson and Isaiah Jackson. What's next: With the season wrapped up, the team now turns its attention to roster development and the NBA Draft, which starts Wednesday in Brooklyn, New York. The intrigue: Indiana is already making moves, trading the No. 23 overall pick to New Orleans to reacquire a first-round 2026 pick and clear out about $3.2 million in salary cap space.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's epic season adds one more trophy: Finals MVP

OKLAHOMA CITY — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander understood the assignment of Game 7. 'Those are the minutes, those are the moments when the best players, the biggest stars, the superstars, Hall of Fame players, make their name. I want to have that name, I want to have those titles attached to my name,' he said. Haliburton excelled under the brightest of lights: 29 points and a career-playoff-high 12 assists in Game 7, leading the Thunder to a 103-91 win and the team's first championship in the city. He controlled and orchestrated the game in a masterclass performance, and with that, he was the unanimous NBA Finals MVP. SGA = NBA FINALS MVP ⛈️ 30.3 PPG ⛈️ 4.6 RPG ⛈️ 5.6 APG ⛈️ 1.9 SPG ⛈️ 1.6 BPG@shaiglalex's special 7-game series lifts the Thunder to their first title in the OKC era! Gilgeous-Alexander's list of accomplishments in these Finals and throughout this season is historic: • He is only the fifth player with 25+ points, 5+ rebounds and 10+ assists in Game 7 of the NBA Finals (Jerry West, Walt Frazier, James Worthy and LeBron James). • First player to be named the regular-season regular season MVP and Finals MVP in the same season since LeBron James in 2012-13. • First player to earn regular-season MVP and win the NBA championship in the same season since Stephen Curry in 2014-15. • First player to win the NBA scoring title and the NBA championship in the same season since Shaquille O'Neal in 1999-00. • Fourth player to win the NBA scoring title and be named the regular-season MVP and the Finals MVP in the same season (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan — four times — and Shaquille O'Neal). 'Yeah, it's hard to believe that I'm part of that group. It's hard to even fathom that I'm that type of basketball player sometimes,' Gilgeous-Alexander said. 'As a kid, you dream. Every kid dreams. But you don't ever really know if it's going to come true. I'm just glad and happy that my dreams have been able to come true. That's a 'thank you' to everyone that's been in my corner that helped me get there.' His teammates were in awe. 'At the end of the day that's going to go down in history as one of the greatest seasons that's ever been had by a player,' Chet Holmgren said. 'It's amazing to be a part of that, to witness somebody going through it, succeeding in so many different ways He really makes it a joy to be around. It's never about him. It's always about us. It's always about winning. His talent shines through all of that. We saw that all year. He's a hell of a basketball player, but he's an even better person.' 'I think he has a unique mindset. I think he gives us a lot of confidence,' Isaiah Hartenstein said of SGA. 'Like we say all season, he's always zero and zero. I don't think he ever gets too high, too low. A great leader on and off the court. He also puts the work in. If you see him on a daily basis, the work he puts in on and off the court, the way he leads. I've been with a lot of players, a lot of superstars, but just how ego-less he is really makes him special.' That 0-0 always mindset — which his teammates tease him about at times — has carried him to one of the great individual seasons in NBA history. And it earned him the NBA Finals MVP and a ring.

Thunder Beat Pacers in Game 7 of NBA Finals

A storm has arrived. The Oklahoma City Thunder is the class of basketball. OKC completed one of the most sterling NBA seasons in history, winning the championship on Sunday night after overwhelming the Indiana Pacers, 103-91, in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. OKC won 68 regular season games—only six other teams have won as many, or more, in a season—before rattling off another 16 victories in the playoffs to finish the wire-to-wire job. The Thunder, who relocated from Seattle to Oklahoma City in 2008, won the franchise's first title since moving south: the Seattle Supersonics won the 1979 NBA championship. Oklahoma City blew a late lead in Game 1 of the Finals—allowing Indiana to steal a win on OKC's home floor—making its championship quest that much more difficult. Indiana had pulled off improbable comebacks all playoffs long. But Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA regular season and Finals MVP who finished with 29 points in the Thunder's Game 7 victory, gave OKC a fourth quarter cushion through his passing. With about 9 minutes left in the game, he dropped a clever dish to Cason Wallace underneath the hoop: Wallace's layup put the Thunder up 86-68. Thunder big man Chet Holmgren blocked a shot on Indiana's next possession—Holgren finished with five blocked shots, a record for a Finals Game 7. Gilgeous-Alexander drew in the defense, then spotted Jalen Williams wide open on the wing. Gilgeous-Alexander hit Willams, whose three-pointer gave OKC a commanding 89-68 lead. Gilgeous-Alexender finished the game with a dozen assists, and just one turnover. Indiana fought back to cut the lead to 10 with under two minutes remaining. But the victory was never really in doubt. Indiana tried its best to overcome heartbreak in Game 7: Tyrese Haliburton, the Pacers' star point guard who was playing with a calf strain in his right leg, suffered an achilles injury in the first quarter. He lay on the court in agony, with his teammates surrounding him. Haliburton, who hit the winning shot in Indiana's Game 1 victory, left the game, and did not return: he's likely to miss time next season too. He was off to a fast start, having sunk a trio of first-quarter treys. On crutches, all Haliburton could do after the game was greet his despondent teammates in a Paycomm Center hallway. Indiana led at halftime, 48-47: the Pacers, whose dominant 108-91 victory over OKC in Game 6 on Thursday forced just the seventh Game 7 of an NBA Finals in 38 years, wouldn't fold. Oklahoma City pushed the lead to 65-56 about five minutes into the second half. T.J. McConnell of Indiana put on a third quarter show, making six baskets in the last seven minutes of the quarter. The problem: no other Pacer scored. OKC finished the third quarter with an 81-68 advantage. It took Indiana nearly five minutes to score in the fourth quarter: the Thunder put on a stunning defensive clinic. Indiana tripled OKC's turnover total (21-7). Without Halliburton on the floor as a playmaker, Indiana had no answers. At one point, Bennedict Mathurin of Indiana fought off the swarming OKC defense by just throwing the ball against the backcourt, retrieving his own miss and drawing a foul. It was a smart move, born of desperation. Sam Presti, who has led the OKC franchise's basketball operations since 2007, has assembled an enviable roster that's built to last. It's the youngest team to win a title in 48 seasons. Presti acquired Gilgeous-Alexander in a trade involving All-Star Paul George in 2019—the Thunder turned one of the draft picks in that deal into Williams, who averaged 23.6 points per game in the series, including a 40-point outburst in OKC's key Game 5 win. This series, involving a duel between small-market NBA teams, struggled to draw big ratings. Fans who tuned out, due to lack of city sizzle, missed out. And now the NBA's new storyline is set, for the next five years or more. How far can OKC go?
