Finals
Oklahoma City Thunder v Indiana Pacers
Okholama and Indiana, USA
6-23 June 2025
Two influential players will go head to head in Game 3 of the
National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals when the Oklahoma City Thunder meet the Indiana Pacers on June 12.
Key Players
Pascal Siakam and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have been the standout players in the first two games in the Finals, which are tied at 1-1.
Gilgeous-Alexander had 34 points and eight assists in Game 2 as the Thunder defeated the Pacers 123-107 on June 9, a typical production from the league’s MVP and scoring champion.
Prior to that, Eastern Conference finals MVP Siakam had led the Pacers with 19 points and 10 rebounds as the Pacers defeated the Thunder, 111-110, in Game 1 on June 6.
Siakam and Gilgeous-Alexander are the favourites to win the Finals MVP award as they are the most outstanding players for the Pacers and Thunder, respectively.
Current Form
Thunder - L, W, W, L, W - have been inconsistent lately as they have won two of their three games, while the other two ended in defeat.
Meanwhile, Pacers - W, L, W, W, L - saw their two-game winning run come to an end when they lost to the Thunder in Game 2.
Quotes
“It’s a matter of slowing him (Gilgeous-Alexander) down and limiting the role players,” Pacers center Myles Turner said after Game 2.
“A few of their guys stepped up tonight. I think Wiggins had a great game. (Alex) Caruso, he did what he had to do.
"So it’s about limiting their role players and making it tougher on them, at least.”
