The Oklahoma City Thunder have leveled the 2025 NBA Finals series at one game apiece, securing a convincing 123-107 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 on Sunday. OKC`s defense was relentless, giving the Pacers little room to operate, and their offense displayed significantly improved fluidity compared to their unexpected loss in Game 1. With the series now tied 1-1, attention shifts to Indianapolis for a pivotal Game 3 scheduled for Wednesday.
Interestingly, neither city has a history of winning an NBA title under its current franchise name. The Indiana Pacers boast three ABA championships from the 1970s but have yet to claim an NBA crown. The Thunder franchise, formerly the Seattle SuperSonics, won an NBA championship in 1979. However, the team has not achieved a title since relocating to Oklahoma City in 2008.
Thanks to their league-best 68 regular-season wins and status as the top seed in the Western Conference, the Thunder possess home-court advantage in the series. This means they are set to host four of the potential seven games.
Below you will find the complete schedule for the 2025 NBA Finals. The series is guaranteed to extend through at least Game 4 on June 13, with a potential decisive Game 7 slated for June 22.
