Thunder Crowned NBA Champions After Game 7 Victory Over Pacers

The Oklahoma City Thunder are NBA champions for the first time since relocating in 2008, after defeating the Indiana Pacers 103–91 in a thrilling Game 7 showdown. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered a historic performance with 29 points and 12 assists, clinching Finals MVP honours to pair with his regular season MVP—a feat last achieved by LeBron James in 2013. The Thunder took control in the second half, outscoring Indiana 34–20 in the third quarter. Indiana's title hopes took a significant hit early when Tyrese Haliburton exited with a leg injury just minutes into the game. Despite a narrow halftime lead (48–47), the Pacers committed 23 turnovers, which Oklahoma City turned into 32 points—a decisive edge in the final outcome. This win marks a historic second NBA title for the franchise, their first as the Thunder and second overall since winning as the Seattle SuperSonics in 1979.
