Pacers Stun Thunder in Game 6 Blowout, Force Thrilling NBA Finals Game 7
What a night of basketball! Game 6 of the NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder was an absolute rollercoaster—well, at least for the Thunder, because the Pacers made sure this was their night from start to finish. With their backs against the wall, Indiana came out like a team that had no intention of going home, crushing OKC 108 to 91 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and forcing a do-or-die Game 7.
The energy in that arena? Unreal. The fans knew it might be the last time they’d see their team live this season—and the Pacers made sure it was memorable. This was not just a win; it was a message. Indiana came out swinging and never let up. Obi Toppin was electric off the bench with 20 points. Andrew Nembhard added 17, Pascal Siakam scored 16, and even with a strained calf, Tyrese Haliburton came in and dropped 14 in just 23 minutes of play. The fact that he was even on the court was inspiring. He played with fire, confidence, and purpose, and his no-look assist to Siakam for a thunderous dunk was one of the plays of the night.

Oklahoma City? They just looked out of sync. Nothing was falling for them, especially from beyond the arc, where they shot a miserable 24%. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and company will have to put this one in the rearview mirror quickly, because the final chapter of this series will be written in just a couple of days.
You could feel the desperation from Indiana right from the tip-off, and it paid off. They forced turnovers, dominated the paint, and completely shut down OKC’s rhythm. At one point, Indiana was up by nearly 30 points. This wasn’t just a bounce-back; it was a complete dismantling.
Now it all comes down to Game 7—Sunday night in Oklahoma City. The first Finals Game 7 in nearly a decade. It doesn’t get more dramatic than this. Both teams have fought hard, but only one will hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy. The question now is: can Indiana carry this momentum into enemy territory, or will OKC regroup and defend home court? Either way, basketball fans everywhere are in for a treat. Game 7, here we come.
