The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers will battle one last time in Game 7 of the NBA Finals at Paycom Center on Sunday, June 22.

The Indiana Pacers forced a Game 7 with a dominant 108-91 win, led by Obi Toppin’s 20 points and Andrew Nembhard’s 17. While Pascal Siakam added a double-double, and Tyrese Haliburton, playing hurt, scored 14, the Pacers used a 68-32 run to blow the game open. However, TJ McConnell provided a spark off the bench with 12 points, nine rebounds, and six assists in a total team effort.

Meanwhile, the Thunder lost a golden chance to close out the series at Gainbridge. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 21 points, and Jalen Williams had 16, but the Thunder trailed by as much as 31 and benched their stars before the fourth. A mid-game lineup change with Alex Caruso did not help them, and now they will face Game 7 at Home.

Bench impact will make the game more highly contested. Thunder will have home-court advantage, while the Pacers are riding high on their momentum.
