It’s all come down to this. The two best words in sports: Game 7.
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers have provided the league and fans with an excellent series, and the final game of the NBA season has a chance to set legacies and to haunt players who don’t perform. The 20th Game 7 in NBA Finals history takes place Sunday at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City.
It’s the first Finals Game 7 in nine years, when the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers came back from a 3-1 deficit to stun the Golden State Warriors.
NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is leading the young Thunder team during the Finals, averaging 30.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and two steals in nearly 38 minutes a game. His sidekick, Jalen Williams, is chipping in more than 24 points per Finals contest.
Indiana, seeking its first championship since 1973 when it was in the ABA, is being paced by Pascal Siakam (19.8 ppg, 8.3 rpg) and Tyrese Haliburton (14.8 ppg, 6.8 apg, 5.3 rpg).
Balanced scoring has also been the key, as 12 different players are averaging more than 10 points a game during the Finals.
It all adds up to a winner-take-all Game 7. USA TODAY Sports will provide the latest updates, highlights, wild plays, analysis and more throughout the game. Follow along.
