NBA Finals schedule 2025: OKC thunders beat pacers in Game 7 to wins the first NBA title in recent history.

The Oklahoma City Thunder started the season with a victory and ended the season with a victory.

The Thunder capped a dominant season with a 103-91 triumph against the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday, giving the franchise its first NBA championship since relocating to Oklahoma City from Seattle in 2008.

It was not easy for the Thunder even with the Pacers missing star guard Tyrese Haliburton who left the game with 4:55 left in the first quarter due to a lower right leg injury.

The Pacers’ resilience makes an opponent earn each victory, and the Thunder were challenged in the series more than they had been in the Western Conference playoffs.

The Thunder pulled away in the third and fourth quarters – carried by stars and depth that produced the best defensive team and No. 3 offensive team this season.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered 29 points, 12 assists, five rebounds, two blocks and one steal and became the first player since LeBron James in 2013 to win a title, regular-season MVP and Finals MVP in the same season.
