The 2025 NBA Finals was the championship series of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) 2024–25 season and conclusion to the season's playoffs. The best-of-seven series ended with the Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder defeating the Eastern Conference champion Indiana Pacers in seven games. The Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was voted the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP), becoming the first Canadian to win the award. The series began on June 5 and ended on June 22 with the first NBA Finals Game 7 since 2016. With a league-best regular season record of 68–14, the Thunder held home-court advantage in the Finals. They came into the series as heavy favorites against the 50–32 Pacers. The Pacers set an NBA postseason record with five 15-point comebacks. One was in Game 1 of the Finals, when Tyrese Haliburton made a game-winning two-point jump shot with 0.3 seconds left. The teams split the first six games, forcing a decisive Game 7, in which Haliburton tore his right Achilles tendon in the first quarter. The Thunder's victory secured their second championship in franchise history, after their 1979 title as the Seattle SuperSonics, and their first since their 2008 move to Oklahoma City. The 2025 Finals crowned the NBA's seventh unique champion in seven years, the longest stretch in league history. The 2025 Finals was also the first since 2006 in which both cities were seeking their first NBA championship. The Thunder's victory was the first championship in any major professional sport for the state of Oklahoma.
