Will the Pacers do the impossible and win it all or will the Thunder right the ship?
Game. SEVEN. The Indiana Pacers forced Oklahoma City into a Game 7 at home. Who do you think comes out on top? The For The Hoops crew make their picks here.
LeBron James’ NSFW reaction perfectly summed up how the basketball world feels about Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals.
The winner-take-all game took a massive turn when Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton went down in the first quarter with a lower right leg injury against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Haliburton was attempting to drive toward the bucket when he slipped and immediately went down to the ground in pain.
Haliburton was helped to the locker room and the team ruled him out for the rest of Game 7. However, the injury looked to be more severe than the right calf injury he was dealing with, dealing a major blow to an Indiana team trying to win its first NBA Finals and starting a grim outlook for next season.
The devastating injury had several notable people upset about what unfolded.
