The Oklahoma City Thunder are set for a crucial Game 6 against the Indiana Pacers in the 2025 NBA Finals, with both teams fighting for their first championship. The series is tied at 3-2, and a win by either side could seal the title.
Oklahoma City faces a tough road game, as closing out a title on the road is one of the hardest games in basketball. In Game 6 against Denver, the Thunder experienced firsthand how difficult these situations can be. The Pacers’ core has shown resilience, coming back from a 3-2 deficit last postseason to win Games 5 and 6 against the Knicks.
However, injuries could be a major concern for both teams. Tyrese Haliburton’s calf strain is uncertain, while Jarace Walker’s ankle injury rules him out. Isaiah Jackson’s Achilles tendon injury also keeps him sidelined.
The Thunder remain relatively healthy, with only Nikola Topic’s knee injury keeping them out of the lineup. Oklahoma City must now prepare for either a parade to celebrate their championship or a Game 7 in the Paycom Center on Sunday night, where their title hopes hang in the balance.
