Indiana Pacers Form
Indiana head back out on the road having set up this winner-takes all encounter with a huge home win in Game 6.
The Pacers made a dream start to the NBA Finals as they won 111-110 in Oklahoma City in Game 1, but they then lost three of the next four to find themselves on the brink.
They lost the second road game 123-107, and then failed to build on a 116-107 victory at home as they lost 111-104 and 120-109.
That left Indiana in a must-win situation on Thursday night, and then got the job done as they beat the Thunder 108-91 to send the 2025 NBA Finals back to OKC for one more game.
The Pacers entered the NBA Finals having also won 12 of their 16 postseason games to down Milwaukee, Cleveland and New York.
They began the playoffs with back-to-back home wins over Milwaukee, beating the Bucks 117-98 and 123-115.
Indiana failed to sweep as they lost their road opener 117-101, but they rebounded swiftly and reeled off 129-103 and 119-118 (OT) wins to seal the series in five games.
The Pacers maintained that momentum as they then upset Cleveland with back-to-back road wins, 121-112 and 120-119, to take early control of the series.
They again lost Game 3, losing 126-104 at home, but they again bounced back from a defeat in style, clinching the series with a 128-109 win at home and a 114-105 win on the road.
Indiana then made a dream start to the Eastern Conference Finals as they won back-to-back games in New York, beating the Knicks 138-135 in overtime and 114-109 in regulation.
The Pacers’ theme of losing Game 3 continued with a 106-100 loss at home, but they responded immediately to that defeat with a 130-121 victory to restore their two-game lead.
They failed to clinch on the road, losing 111-94, but they did get the job done when they returned home, wrapping up the series with a 125-108 victory.
Oklahoma City Thunder Form
Oklahoma City return home for one more game after failing to wrap up the 2025 NBA Finals on the road.
The Thunder came into the series with home advantage, but surrendered it in the series opener as they lost 111-110 to Indiana.
They railed though, winning 123-107 at home, before rebounding from a 116-107 road defeat with 111-104 and 120-109 victories over the Pacers.
That gave Oklahoma City a chance to clinch in Indiana on Thursday night, but they passed up on that opportunity as they were beaten 108-91.
The Thunder came into the NBA Finals having won 12 of their 16 postseason games, eliminating Memphis, Denver and Minnesota.
They made a dominant start to the playoffs as they swept Memphis in four games, winning 131-80 and 118-99 at home, and 114-108 and 117-115 on the road.
Oklahoma City failed to replicate that dominance in the early stages of the second round though, as they sandwiched a 149-106 win over Denver with 121-119 and 113-104 (OT) defeats.
The Thunder rebounded to take the next two games against the Nuggets though, 92-87 and 112-105, but failed to clinch on the road as they lost 119-107 in Game 6.
That set up a huge Game 7 showdown on their home court, and they delivered for the home fans with a 125-93 victory to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
Oklahoma City backed up that massive win in the early stages of the conference finals, taking control of the series with Minnesota with back-to-back victories.
The Thunder opened up a 2-0 series lead over the Timberwolves as they ran out 114-88 and 118-103 winners at home.
They failed to complete a series sweep as they lost 143-101 in their first road game of the series, but they rebounded to wrap things up with 128-126 and 124-94 victories.
Verdict
Indiana kept this series alive despite Tyrese Haliburton’s battle with injury, but we are not expecting an upset in Game 7.
Oklahoma City are back home where they have been in excellent form on the playoffs, and we are backing them to get the job done.
