The Pacers pushed the Thunder to the brink. But without Haliburton, they didn't have the firepower to complete another playoff rally.

The Thunder have their first championship in Oklahoma City. The Thunder took down the Pacers on Sunday night in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals to deliver their first championship for the franchise since relocating to OKC from Seattle in 2008. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA's regular-season MVP, was named Finals MVP.

Indiana got its familiar balance, with superlative performances off the bench from Obi Toppin and T.J. McConnell. League MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) and All-NBA performer Jalen Williams have been leading the Thunder throughout the series and will be looking for help from their teammates and what is sure to be a raucous Paycom Arena crowd.
