So, the matchup is set. It’s the Paul George finals, albeit without Paul George — who had arguably the best season of his career with the Thunder, averaging 28 points and finishing third in the MVP voting for 2018-19 — starting at OKC on Thursday.

Indiana Pacers Playing Fast Will Be Key to Beating OKC Thunder originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Pacers lost only four games in the postseason as they marched to their first NBA Finals appearance in 25 years, and they will match up against the Oklahoma City Thunder, another team looking to win its first title.

Indy tries to punch its ticket to the Finals tonight, while New York seeks a Game 7 back at The Garden. The Thunder advance to the 2025 NBA Finals, and now await either the Knicks or Pacers for Game 1 on June 5.
