NBA Finals Predictions: Thunder or Pacers?
Do the Pacers have a chance against the Thunder in thr NBA Finals? The FTH crew doesn’t have much faith in this this series
The 2025 NBA Finals have been a seesaw series, with the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers trading wins through the first four games.
With the series in the balance, Game 5 should be a thriller. Indiana opened the Finals off with a one-point win that was secured via Tyrese Haliburton‘s buzzer-beater. Oklahoma City struck back in Game 2, dominating from start to finish in a 123-107 victory.
The series moved to Indianapolis, but repeated that same pattern: the Pacers took a 2-1 lead thanks to a smothering defensive effort down the stretch restricted the Thunder to 18 points in the 4th quarter. Once again, the Western Conference champs got revenge at the next opportunity, with Alex Caruso sparking a comeback 111-104 win.
