132-111! The "0" suspense in the finals! Harry s magic failed, the first championship in the history of the Thunder is here
2:43pm, 5 June 2025【Basketball】
This year's NBA Finals presented a low-key and highly anticipated contest, with the Western Conference champion Thunder vs. The Eastern Conference Dark Horse Pacers. What are the common features of the two teams: both came from the small football market, were young and energetic, fast-paced, enthusiastic, and emphasized teamwork. The difference is that public opinion generally tends toward the Thunder. Gambling institutions and analysts both expect the series to be not lengthy. CBS experts estimate that the Thunder's chance of winning the championship is 93.5%, and 38% of experts believe that the Thunder can win the championship in five games and win the first championship in team history.
As experts foresee, this round of series may become the least suspense championship duel in NBA history, and the Pacers lag behind the Thunder in offense and defensive performance, star level, regular season results and playoff data. In the playoffs, the Pacers benefited from speed and fast rotation. The offensive system built by Carlisle allows Harry to display his magic at critical moments, but these advantages are difficult to show when facing the Thunder.
Thunder's defensive efficiency leads the league in both the regular season and the playoffs, perfectly adapting to the Pacers' fast pace and even better. Its defensive structure is built around two best defensive team members, Dortell and Jaylen, supplemented by Caruso and Homgren, who have excellent athletic capabilities and keen defensive players. The Thunder suppressed their opponents' scores below 80 points in all three playoffs, setting a precedent in NBA history. Although Halliburton, the Pacers' offensive core, has a large fluctuation in the playoffs, and is easily lost when facing key points. The Thunder are good at disrupting the rhythm and forcing mistakes. There are many people defending Harry, which will put Harry in trouble and drag down the team's offensive.
Once the speed and transfer ball advantage are lost and the positional battle is trapped, the Thunder can take the opportunity to expand the lead. The Thunder's new MVP, Alexander, cannot be ignored. The SGA playoff performance hit a new high, averaging 33 points per game, and repeatedly decided the winner at critical moments. In contrast, the Pacers lack such a mature and stable scoring point and a final decision.
Facts are better than words, and the gap between the east and west is significant. The Western leader Thunder is far stronger than the fourth Pacers in the East, and the regular season confrontation record also confirms this point. The two teams collided twice in the regular season, and the Thunder easily won, especially in the duel on March 30, which defeated the Pacers 132-111.
Pacers deserve applause and respect as dark horses, but what must be faced is that they are facing the most severe challenges since the playoffs, and Carlisle is difficult to discover a reversal strategy again, and the Thunder are expected to win the championship in five games.
