It all comes down to Game 7 of the NBA Finals<\/a> between the Indiana Pacers<\/a> and the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even with a hobbled Tyrese Haliburton<\/a> in Game 6, the Pacers won convincingly<\/a>. Now with the series tied 3-3, Indiana must win in Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n

Haliburton was listed as questionable for Game 6, but he is not on the injury report for Game 7. This game also marks the first time Indiana has been within one game of the NBA title. The Pacers are 7-4 on the road in the 2025 playoffs.<\/p>\n

Dustin Dopirak, IndyStar<\/a>: Pacers 111, Thunder 109<\/p>\n

“I honestly have no idea what’s going to happen in this game. But the most fitting thing considering the way these playoffs have gone would be for the Pacers to win on a Tyrese Haliburton game-winning 3. So let’s go with that.”<\/p>\n

Gregg Doyel, IndyStar<\/a>: Pacers win<\/p>\n

“I’ve got the Pacers winning Game 7, because I think the Pacers are better. Don’t ask me why one team won 68 games, but the team I think is better won 50. But that’s what I think.”<\/p>\n
