Basketball highlights & stats
The Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder meet in the NBA Finals with the Larry O’Brien Trophy on the line. Follow all the action in the NBA app.
Quick take: No matter who wins, fans will be celebrating their team’s first title. The Pacers have only made it this far once before (losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2000), while the Thunder haven’t won a championship since adopting a new name and moving to Oklahoma City. (Back in 1979 they clinched the title as the Seattle SuperSonics.)
Don’t miss: The All-NBA point guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder) and Tyrese Haliburton (Pacers). SGA led the league in scoring this season on his way to securing his first Most Valuable Player award. Haliburton’s clutch playmaking was instrumental in his team’s series win over the New York Knicks last week in the conference finals.
