Update:

Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Finals takes place today, Friday, June 13, when the Indiana Pacers will have the opportunity to take a huge step towards their first ever championship against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Before the start of the series, the Thunder were seen as strong favorites to prevail after performing superbly during the regular season. However, the Pacers have got off to an excellent start, posting come-from-behind victories in Games 1 and 3 to lead 2-1.

Pacers close to making franchise history

Rick Carlisle’s team can move to within one game of a championship ring with a second consecutive victory at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, where they will once again be spurred on by a vociferous crowd desperate to witness the Pacers making history.

Indiana have won five of their six homes games in the postseason and really appeared to knock the Thunder and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander out of their stride in Games 3. They will therefore be confident of scoring another victory at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, especially with SGA only half-heartedly rejecting suggestions of tiredness within Oklahoma’s ranks.
