The 2025 NBA Finals begin on Thursday with the Western Conference’s top seed, the Oklahoma City Thunder, facing the East’s No. 4 seed, the Indiana Pacers.
OKC has had a historic season in which it is just the fourth team with 80-plus regular season plus postseason wins entering the Finals. Also, the Thunder already set the NBA postseason record for the most 30-point wins—four—as they are overwhelming favorites to win the championship.
