The Oklahoma City Thunder are NBA champions after finally finishing off the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 on Sunday night.
Led by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder secured the franchise’s second-ever championship with a 103-91 win on their own court to wrap up a 4-3 series success.
The Pacers were hurt by the loss of their star player Tyrese Haliburton at the end of the first quarter. He suffered an Achilles injury and left the court in tears.
Gilgeous-Alexander was named Finals MVP. He scored 29 points and got 12 assists while Jalen Williams scored 20 and Chet Holmgren had 18 for the Thunder.
Oklahoma City won 84 games between the regular season and the playoffs, tying the 1996-97 Chicago Bulls for third-most in any season.
Oklahoma went up by 21 points with minutes to go in Game 7 against Indiana.
