2025 NBA playoff bracket, scores: Thunder take down Pacers in NBA Finals Game 7 for OKC's first title

By: CBS Sports Posted On: June 23, 2025 View: 2

The Thunder have their first championship in Oklahoma City. The Thunder took down the Pacers on Sunday night in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals to deliver their first championship for the franchise since relocating to OKC from Seattle in 2008. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA's regular-season MVP, was named Finals MVP.

The Pacers' underdog run, meanwhile, came up one win short of a title. Indy has still never won an NBA championship in its history. The Pacers saw star guard Tyrese Haliburton go down with an Achilles injury early in Game 7. It was a tough blow as the Pacers' offense struggled after the injury in a 12-point loss.

The Thunder are the NBA's seventh different champion in as many years. OKC was the top seed in the playoff bracket after winning 68 games. The Thunder knocked off the Grizzlies, Nuggets and Timberwolves to reach the NBA Finals. The Pacers made the Finals for the first time since 2000. Indy took out the Bucks, Cavaliers and Knicks to reach the title round.
