Indiana Pacers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Pick Prediction by Tony T. Thunder at Pacers Injuries Walker is doubtful for Indiana. Recent Box Score Key Stats Thunder at Pacers 8PM ET—Indiana evens the series at 3-3 following their 108-91 home victory. The Pacers shot 41% with 36% from three. Obi Toppin scored 20 points with six rebounds in a bench role. Andrew Nembhard contributed with 17 points and four assists. OKC shot 42% with 27% from three. SGA got 21 points with four rebounds. Jalin Williams chipped in with 16 points and three rebounds.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down NBA Game 7. Best bets as always. The podcast episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview hosted by Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers dives into the upcoming NBA Finals Game 7 between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, focusing on Game 6 recap, player and team statistics, Game 7 historical trends, and predictions. Munaf begins by acknowledging the unexpected extension to Game 7, joking that rapper Drake may be responsible after placing a massive bet on the Thunder in Game 6. Mackenzie reflects on his incorrect prediction and credits Indiana's resilience, noting they've consistently defied expectations. In Game 6, the Pacers delivered a balanced team performance. Tyrese Halliburton, playing through injury, contributed 14 points and 5 assists in 23 minutes. Four starters reached double figures, while Obi Toppin scored 20 off the bench. TJ McConnell added 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. The Thunder, in contrast, had a dismal shooting night, hitting only 8 of 30 from three-point range, with starters going 1 for 13. They managed just 91 points, their lowest of the season. Defensively, the Pacers adjusted from full-court pressure in Game 4 to a more strategic, trap-heavy defense in Game 6. Mackenzie compares McConnell's impact to J.J. Barea in 2011, praising Rick Carlisle's coaching and noting that he's achieved more with less than most NBA coaches. Munaf suggests Carlisle's legacy could be cemented with a second improbable championship, citing his 2011 win over Miami's Big Three. Looking at Game 7, the Thunder are favored by 7.5 points with a total of 214.5. Historical trends support a close contest: since 2002, 62% of Game 7s have gone under the total, with average victory margins at just 6.9 points. Of the past ten NBA Finals Game 7s, only one had a margin over 7.5. Munaf notes that OKC's strong home record and MVP-caliber season from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) bring added pressure, while Indiana is seen as playing with house money. Mackenzie believes the Thunder's legacy burden may weigh heavier on SGA than any player, contrasting Halliburton's low-risk, high-reward scenario. Referee influence, especially the likely assignment of Scott Foster, could shape the game. Foster is known for calling more fouls and previously officiated two Finals Game 7s, including the 2010 Celtics-Lakers game where LA shot 37 free throws. Munaf warns that if Foster is officiating, foul counts may spike. Both hosts back the Pacers +7.5 as their best bet. They emphasize Indiana's ability to stay within striking distance, citing the last four Finals teams that forced Game 7s after trailing 3–2 all won the title. Regarding props, Munaf favors Pascal Siakam's rebound over (7.5), noting consistent double-digit boards and high minutes. SGA and Caruso are tipped to exceed 2.5 combined steals and blocks, given the high-pressure context. Mackenzie leans under on Halliburton's 15.5 point line, which is near season-low, but suggests parlaying Halliburton overs with a Pacers win if expecting an upset. In closing, the hosts predict a tight, gritty Game 7 in line with NBA history. Both expect Indiana to cover and potentially win, citing momentum, strategic flexibility, and psychological freedom versus the high stakes confronting OKC. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tim Legler and Adam Mares break down Game 6 of the NBA Finals, where the Indiana Pacers dominated despite Tyrese Haliburton's injury. They discuss how picking up Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lower on the court helped stifle OKC, why Chet Holmgren was so quiet, and how TJ McConnell's energy continues to be a game-changer. The episode also highlights Pascal Siakam's lockdown defense on Jalen Williams, Obi Toppin's rise as a major x-factor, and the need for more scoring from the Thunder's bench. FOLLOW ALL NBATwitter: http://x.com/ALLCITY_NBAInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/allcity_nba/TikTok : http://www.tiktok.com/@ALLCITY_NBA An ALLCITY Network ProductionAll music credited to Greg Kramer, check him out on Spotify! Vivid Seats is offering an exclusive discount on Playoff tickets!

We spotlight the huge performances from Andrew Nembhard, Myles Turner, Pascal Siakam, Benedict Mathurin, Obi Toppin, and TJ McConnell — and explain how Indiana's deep bench and unselfish ball movement have become the secret weapon against OKC's youth and athleticism.We also analyze the Oklahoma City Thunder's struggles as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander faces Carlisle's adjustments, Chet Holmgren gets exposed in the post, and Mark Daigneault tries to keep his young roster composed under Finals pressure. Plus, we debate whether OKC's youth and future assets could ironically work against them in this moment.Other topics include:Can Halliburton surpass Reggie Miller as the most important Pacer ever?How Indiana's basketball culture fuels this underdog run.How this NBA Finals compares to historic upsets like the 2011 Mavericks vs Heat.Joe Mazzulla's failures in contrast to Carlisle and Daigneault.Why the NBA Playoffs 2025 may end with one of the biggest Finals shocks in league history.If you're a fan of NBA Finals analysis, NBA Playoffs 2025 coverage, Tyrese Haliburton's rise, Indiana Pacers vs OKC Thunder breakdowns, and NBA history, you don't want to miss this episode.

The 2025 NBA Finals tipped off with one of the wildest comebacks in Finals history. The Indiana Pacers trailed for the first 47 minutes and 59.7 seconds… but won it all on a Tyrese Haliburton game-winning shot with 0.3 seconds left.Intro: Haliburton's Game-Winner Recap — 00:05First Half Breakdown — 00:30– OKC's elite defense causes 9 turnovers– Missed opportunities on offense– Obi Toppin & TJ McConnell show life for Indy– Coach Carlisle's full-court press adjustmentSecond Half Breakdown — 05:38– OKC holds lead early– Thomas Bryant sparks Indy– Nembhard's hustle changes the tone– Siakam's key fourth quarter moments– Haliburton's buzzer-beating winnerThunder's Offensive Issues — 07:22– SGA and Caruso shine individually– No rhythm from othersClosing Takeaways — 08:38– Pacers take 1–0 lead despite trailing for 48 minutes– Coaching, effort, and depth defined Game 1

The Pacers steal Game 1 of the NBA Finals in stunning fashion! We break down Indiana's wild comeback win over the Thunder, fueled by Andrew Nembhard's clutch two-way play, huge fourth-quarter moments from Myles Turner and Obi Toppin, and Tyrese Haliburton's cold-blooded dagger to seal it. We dive into how the Pacers clawed back late, the key adjustments that flipped the momentum, and what this win means heading into Game 2. Buckle up — this Finals series is officially on.

Last night, the Indiana Pacers stunned the basketball world with a thrilling 111-110 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals. Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning shot capped a dramatic 15-point fourth-quarter comeback, marking Indiana's fifth such rally this postseason. Pascal Siakam led with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Obi Toppin's 17 points off the bench sparked the upset. The Pacers' relentless pace and clutch play set the tone for a competitive series, proving their underdog status is no fluke. Switching to baseball, the Cincinnati Reds face a critical weekend series against the Chicago Cubs at Great American Ball Park. The Reds, hovering around .500, are fighting to stay in the NL Central race. After a rollercoaster May, where they split series against strong teams like the Dodgers and Braves, Cincinnati needs consistency. Their offense, led by Elly De La Cruz's speed and Jonathan India's on-base skills, has shown flashes of brilliance but struggles with runners in scoring position, batting just .240 in those spots this season. The Cubs, sitting third in the division, are a tough matchup. Their pitching staff, anchored by Shota Imanaga (2.95 ERA), has been stingy, allowing the third-fewest runs in the NL. Chicago's lineup, powered by Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki, thrives on exploiting mistakes, making Cincinnati's pitching staff—prone to wildness—vulnerable. Reds starter Hunter Greene (3.45 ERA) takes the mound Friday, aiming to set the tone with his high-90s fastball. However, his command issues (4.1 BB/9) could be costly against the disciplined Cubs. Saturday's matchup features Nick Lodolo, whose breakout 2025 (3.12 ERA, 9.5 K/9) has been a bright spot for Cincinnati. He'll face Chicago's Justin Steele, a lefty who's limited opponents to a .220 average. The Reds must capitalize early, as the Cubs' bullpen ranks among the league's best. Sunday's finale pits Andrew Abbott against Kyle Hendricks, where Cincinnati's ability to work counts could decide the game. The Reds need at least two wins to gain ground in the division. De La Cruz's base-stealing (35 SB) and Spencer Steer's power (15 HR) will be key. Defensively, Cincinnati must tighten up after recent errors cost them games. Expect a high-energy series with playoff implications, as both teams vie for postseason

Potacast'in yeni bölümünde Kaan Kural ve Orkun Çolakoğlu, NBA Konferans Finalleri'ni konuşuyor. Program, dün geceye damgasını vuran Tyrese Haliburton'un son saniyede maçı uzatmalara götüren sayısına verilen reaksiyonlar ile başlıyor. Maçın anlatımında mikrofonda olan Orkun Çolakoğlu, atış sırasındaki "ya kaçarsa" gerginliğini, Haliburton'un skor sonrası New York Knicks taraftarına yaptığı Reggie Miller hareketini birinci ağızdan anlatıyor. Deplasmanda oynadığı ilk maçı uzatmalar sonucu kazanan Indiana Pacers'ın avantajı, Obi Toppin, Myles Turner ve Aaron Nesmith gibi oyuncuların performansı karşısında New York Knicks'te Miles McBride'ın bench'ten gelip yaptığı katkı ve Jalen Brunson'un harika ilk maç performansı konuşuluyor. Ardından Batı Konferansı finali ilk maçında karşı karşıya gelen Oklahoma City Thunder ve Minnesota Timberwolves maçı mercek altına alınıyor. Thunder'da sezon boyunca gösterdiği performansla yılın MVP'si seçilen Shai Gilgeous-Alexander liderliğinde genel takım performansı ve Thunder'ın savunma konusundaki avantajları ön plana çıkarılırken Timberwolves cephesinde Anthony Edwards'ın takım liderliği konusunda kendini öne çıkarması gerektiği tartışılıyor. Julius Randle'ın yaşadığı olgunluk ve olumlu anlamdaki karakter değişikliğinin Timberwolves için sahaya nasıl yansıdığı iyi anlamda değerlendirilirken Rudy Gobert'in kısmen zayıf olarak nitelendirilen mental özelliklerinin takımı nasıl aşağı çektiği konuşuluyor. Thunder'ın sahip olduğu geniş rotasyon, Alex Caruso'nun rolünde bir süper star'a dönüşmüş olması ve savunma meziyetlerinin analiz edilmesinin ardından programın son bölümüne geçiliyor. Kapanışta, çiçeği burnunda MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander'a övgüler dizilirken, son yılların gördüğü en heyecanlı MVP yarışının zirve ortağı olan ve belki de kariyerinin en iyi sezonunu geçiren Nikola Jokic de övgülerden nasibini alıyor. Jokic'in kariyer sezonu, MVP listesine son anda eklenen Donovan Mitchell ve Giannis Antetokounmpo ile Jayson Tatum'un zirve takibi... Hepsi ve daha fazlası bu bölümde!

In one of the wildest playoff finishes in recent memory, the Indiana Pacers erased a 14-point deficit in under three minutes to steal Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals in overtime, beating the New York Knicks 138-135 at Madison Square Garden. Matt breaks down how Aaron Nesmith's five late-game threes and Tyrese Haliburton's buzzer-beater forced OT—and how the Knicks let a sure victory slip through their fingers. We analyze Jalen Brunson's 43-point performance, Karl-Anthony Towns' dominance, and why Obi Toppin's revenge slam might haunt Knicks fans for years. Plus, we revisit the Reggie Miller parallels and preview what's next in this suddenly epic series.Check out this quality episode of the Productive Conversations Podcast, on all Podcasting Platforms and YouTube.

Alex Golden and Mike Facci recap the Pacers Overtime Thriller! Obi Toppin led the Pacers in scoring with 34 points and lifted them to one of the BEST wins of the season with a game winning three over the Timberwolves. This snapped the Wolves 8 game winning streak and the Pacers did this with 4 starters sidelined, 1 ejected in the 3rd quarter and their 6th man fouled out in the 4th. Just a remarkable game from so many players and the guys dive into all of it!
