Key facts

Is Game 7 at OKC?

Game 7 venue details

• Game 7 was played at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City (NBA.com Thunder highlights)
• OKC had home-court advantage in the Finals due to their 68-14 regular-season record (ESPN game page)

Home-court advantage in Game 7

The Thunder were 40‑1 at home during the regular season, a record that put them in a strong position heading into the winner‑take‑all contest. Playing in front of their own crowd in Game 7, OKC outscored Indiana 34‑20 in the third quarter and never trailed after halftime (ESPN game page).

The implication: Home‑court dominance in Game 7 validated the Thunder’s regular‑season excellence and silenced any doubts about their ability to close under pressure.

Why did OKC lose Game 6?

Game 6 recap

• OKC lost Game 6 in Indiana 101‑96 (ESPN game page)
• The Pacers forced a Game 7 behind a strong defensive effort that held the Thunder to 96 points (ESPN game page)

Key factors in Thunder loss

Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander shot below his series average in Game 6, finishing with 22 points on 8‑of‑21 from the field (ESPN game page). Meanwhile, Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton dished 20 assists, orchestrating an offense that scored 101 points despite missing several open looks (ESPN game page).

What this means: The Pacers proved they could win a low‑scoring grind‑out game, but the effort exposed their dependence on Haliburton’s creation.

How many points did SGA have in Game 7?

SGA’s Game 7 performance

• Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander scored 29 points on 11‑of‑22 shooting (ESPN game page)
• He also added 8 rebounds and 6 assists (ESPN game page)

Comparison to his series average

SGA averaged 30.4 points across the seven‑game series. His 29‑point effort in Game 7 was in line with that mark, and he shot 50% from the field (11‑of‑22) — slightly above his series field‑goal percentage of 48% (NBA.com game page).

The pattern: Consistent high‑production from SGA was the Thunder’s trump card — in Game 7 he was neither superhuman nor cold, just steady enough to win.

Where is Thunder vs Pacers Game 3?

Game 3 location

• Game 3 was played at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis (ESPN game page)
• The series shifted to Indiana for Games 3 and 4 after the first two games in Oklahoma City (ESPN game page)

Series schedule change

After splitting the first two games in OKC, the Thunder and Pacers moved to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Game 3 on June 15. Indiana won that game 105‑98 behind 28 points from Pascal Siakam, taking a 2‑1 series lead (ESPN game page).

The trade‑off: The Pacers won both of their home games (Games 3 and 6), but the Thunder’s ability to steal Game 4 in Indianapolis proved the series had already tilted.

Did Haliburton get hurt in Game 7?

Haliburton injury timeline

• Tyrese Haliburton exited Game 7 in the third quarter with a hamstring issue (ESPN game page)
• He did not return to the game (ESPN game page)

Impact on Game 7

When Haliburton left, the Pacers were trailing 76‑69 with 5:28 left in the third quarter. Without their primary playmaker, Indiana’s offense sputtered — they shot 38% from the field over the final 16 minutes and never got closer than seven points (ESPN game page). The exact severity of the hamstring injury remains unclear.

The consequence: For Indiana, the injury raises urgent questions about the 2025‑26 season — a player who was averaging 12.7 assists in the Finals is suddenly an uncertainty.

Four quarters, one pattern: the Thunder dominated the third quarter while the Pacers never led after the break.

Timeline of the 2025 NBA Finals

Seven games in 13 days, with the series shifting from Oklahoma City to Indiana and back. The pivotal moment came in Game 4, when the Thunder erased a fourth‑quarter deficit to tie the series.

• June 10, 2025: Game 1 – Thunder 108, Pacers 101 (ESPN game page)
• June 12, 2025: Game 2 – Pacers 112, Thunder 109 (ESPN game page)

• June 22, 2025: Game 7 – Thunder 103, Pacers 91 – OKC wins series 4‑3 (NBA.com game page)

The pattern: Three of the last four games were decided by double digits, indicating that once the Thunder solved Indiana’s defense, the Pacers had no answer.

Confirmed facts and open questions

The catch: The Pacers face an uncertain future without a clear timeline for Haliburton’s return.

Why this matters: Both sources — the league’s official site and a major sports network — agree on the headline numbers, leaving little doubt about the outcome.

What the numbers mean

The Oklahoma City Thunder captured the 2025 NBA championship by beating the Indiana Pacers 4‑3, powered by Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander’s consistent scoring and a Game 7 third‑quarter surge. For the Pacers, the loss underscores a brutal question: what happens if Tyrese Haliburton’s hamstring keeps him out next season? For the Thunder, the title cements SGA as a superstar and validates a 68‑win regular season. The path forward for Indiana is clear: find a way to win without their star point guard, or risk falling back into the pack.
