The 2025 NBA Finals have come down to a climactic Game 7 showdown between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. After a hard-fought series, the teams will battle it out for the championship title on Sunday, June 22, 2025, at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM ET.

This is the 20th Game 7 in NBA Finals history, marking a rare and highly anticipated event. The Pacers forced a decisive game with a commanding 108-91 victory in Game 6. Historically, home teams have dominated Game 7 matchups with a 15-4 record. The last time a Game 7 occurred in the NBA Finals was in 2016, when the Cleveland Cavaliers upset the Golden State Warriors on the road.

The game will be broadcast live on ABC. Streaming options are available on services like Fubo, which offers a free trial, as well as DirecTV, Hulu + Live TV, and more.

Beyond the prestige of winning the NBA Championship, substantial prize money is at stake. The NBA distributes playoff bonuses through a tiered system rewarding regular-season performance and postseason success. This year, the total prize pool is a record $34.7 million.

The winner of the NBA Finals will receive an additional $8,805,000, while the runner-up will be awarded $3,803,000.

Here's a breakdown of what each team could potentially earn:

  • Indiana Pacers: Having finished fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 50-32 record, the Pacers have already secured $372,000. Reaching the Finals and advancing through the Eastern Conference playoffs has earned them an additional $1.99 million. If the Pacers win Game 7, their total earnings from the championship would reach $10.8 million. A loss would still net them $5.79 million.
  • Oklahoma City Thunder: The Thunder, who finished with the NBA's best record (68-14), have already received a bonus of $869,345 for this achievement, plus $761,000 for claiming the West's top seed, and another $1.99 million for reaching the Finals. Winning the championship would bring their total payout to over $12.4 million, equating to approximately $828,000 per player. Even if they lose, they would still earn $3.803 million along with their earlier playoff earnings, and leave the Finals with $7.42 million to split between players.

For both the Thunder and the Pacers, this Game 7 represents a historic moment. Neither team has technically ever won an NBA title. The Paycom Center atmosphere will be electric. Undeniably, this is the biggest game in each franchise's history, a moment that will be etched in the memories of fans forever.
