It’s time. After months of speculation, the NBA Finals are now set with the Oklahoma City Thunder taking on the Indiana Pacers.
The Thunder, led by NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, have cruised so far in the postseason by dispatching the Memphis Grizzlies, the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Oklahoma City has dropped only four matchups all playoffs.
Indiana, meanwhile, surprised many by taking out the Milwaukee Bucks, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks. Do-everything guard Tyrese Haliburton has been huge — 18.8 points, 9.8 assists and 5.7 rebounds a contest — but he isn’t alone. Pascal Siakam leads the team in scoring (21.1 points per game) and rebounding (5.8) during the playoffs. In all, six different players have averaged double-digit scoring.
