Although the NBA season started with 14 teams, Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder are the last two teams standing as they face off in a highly anticipated 2025 NBA Finals series. It would be a significant achievement for any team that wins the finals since both sides are yet to do so.
Oklahoma City Thunder were prolific in the Western Conference finals series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, thrashing them 4-1. As for The Indiana Pacers, they made it to the final for the first time since 2000, having won the Eastern Conference finals against the New York Knicks by a scoreline of 4-2.
The likes of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams hold key for the Thunder, having done exceedingly well in their road to the finals. On the other hand, Tyrese Haliburton's leadership skills and Pascal Siakam's adaptability have been integral in Thunder reaching the finals and all eyes will yet again be on them.
