Thunder vs Pacers: the story so far...
Looking to win the NBA title for just the second time in their history, Oklahoma City Thunder were a force to be reckoned during the regular season, topping the Western Conference with a 64-18 win-loss record. Mark Daigneault’s side then crushed the Memphis Grizzlies 4-0 before edging out the Denver Nuggets 4-3 to enter the Western Conference finals. They then cruised past the Minnesota Timberwolves 4-1 to reach the finals for the first time since 2012. Now they’ll look to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren to power them to the title.
The Indiana Pacers may have entered the Eastern Conference playoffs as the fourth seeds after finishing the regular season with a 50-32 win-loss record, but they have gone from strength to strength during the playoffs. After securing successive 4-1 wins over the Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers, they overcame a strong New York Knicks side 4-2. Now seeking a first-ever NBA trophy, they’ll lean heavily on three-time NBA All-Star Pascal Siakam who has averaged 21.1 points and 5.8 rebounds in the post season.
