For the seventh consecutive season, the NBA will have a different champion than the previous season.

The 2025 NBA playoffs are down to one last series, with the 2025 Finals pairing the Oklahoma City Thunder against the Indiana Pacers.

We haven't even tipped off the 2025 NBA Finals, and the playoffs have already given us several weeks of eye-popping highlights, hard-fought series and team and individual performances that have defined the era and its narratives.

Tyrese Haliburton is relishing the Indiana Pacers' win over the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals.
