The 2025 NBA Finals are set!
The Oklahoma City Thunder got here by routing the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games in the Western Conference finals. Oklahoma City’s appearance in the Finals is its first since Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden led the franchise there in 2012.
In the East, the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks reignited their rivalry, with the Pacers overcoming the Knicks in six games. Indiana is back in the Finals for the first time since 2000.
Note: The NBA Finals are best-of-seven in a 2-2-1-1-1 format, with the team with the better record (Oklahoma City) hosting Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 (if necessary).
