How to watch Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers Game 1: TV/stream info, date, time

The 2025 NBA Finals tip off tonight, Thursday, June 5, at 8:30 PM ET as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder host Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers at Paycom Center. The Thunder are seeking their first NBA title since relocating to Oklahoma City in 2008. The last time the franchise reached the Finals was in 2012, dropping their series against LeBron James' Miami Heat in 5. Gilgeous-Alexander has not only led Oklahoma City to the best record in the NBA regular season but also its best season in franchise history with 68 wins. The 2025 league MVP led the league in scoring in the regular season (32.7 ppg) and earned the Magic Johnson trophy as the Western Conference Finals MVP. The Thunder have lost just four games in the postseason, becoming only the fourth team to ever win 80 games ahead of the NBA Finals. They swept the No. 8 Memphis Grizzlies in the First Round, eliminated the No. 4 Denver Nuggets in 7 in the Conference Semifinals, and defeated the No. 6 Minnesota Timberwolves in 5 in the Western Conference Finals. Despite the success, Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder remain focused on the bigger picture. 'This isn't our goal. We didn't start the season like we want to win the West,' said Gilgeous-Alexander. 'We want to win the NBA championship. Now we are a step closer to our goal and we're happy about that. But it's still four more games to go win, four really hard games to go win and we have to be the best version of ourselves for four nights to reach the ultimate goal.' RELATED: Times, they are a changin' -Thunder vs. Pacers Finals highlights generational change sweeping NBA The Indiana Pacers are seeking their first NBA title. The team's last Finals appearance was in 2000, when they lost to the Lakers in 6. Indiana eliminated the No. 5 Milwaukee Bucks and the No. 1 Cleveland Cavaliers in 5 games, before knocking out the No. 6 New York Knicks in 6 to advance to the Finals. Comeback victories have been the Pacers' trademark this postseason. The team has bounced back to win 4 games where they were down by 17 points — the most in a single playoffs in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98). All-star guard Tyrese Haliburton has been clutch, making four game-tying or go-ahead shots in the final 30 seconds of the playoffs. Pascal Siakam is just one of two players on Indiana's roster who have won an NBA title, having won a championship with the Raptors in 2019. Siakam was named Eastern Conference Finals MVP after leading the Pacers in scoring (24.8 ppg) against New York.

Tom Felton To Play Draco Malfoy In ‘Cursed Child' On Broadway—How To Buy Tickets

While the role of Draco Malfoy has yet to be cast in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV series, original actor Tom Felton isn't giving up his wand just yet. After starring in all eight movies of the original blockbuster film series from 2001 to 2011, Felton is now making his Broadway debut in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. This casting marks the first time anyone from the original films has appeared in the stage production. Felton will play the adult version of Draco at the Lyric Theatre in New York City, beginning Nov. 11 for a 19-week run through March 22, 2026. 'Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honors of my life," he said in a statement. "Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me, because when I begin performances in Cursed Child this fall, I'll also be the exact age Draco is in the play.' The news was first announced on Today on Thursday, June 5, where the actor revealed that his casting is 'very much a pinch-me' situation. 'I keep thinking I'm dreaming. I let go of that character 16 years ago, and now getting a chance to step back into his shoes — as a father this time, in a new story — I get to meet Draco as an adult, which is very exciting.' Over on Instagram, Felton and the official Harry Potter and the Cursed Child accounts shared a first look at Felton in his black robes and sleek blonde hairstyle, resembling his on-screen father, Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs). Felton admitted he "cried" when he tried on the character's platinum wig again after so long, considering how deeply the franchise shaped his childhood. "I've been very excited to share this news, and I had to keep it under wraps for quite a while," the 37-year-old added. Want to buy tickets to see Felton as Draco in the historic role? Here's what to know about securing seats during the 19-week run. Tickets to see Tom Felton in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will go on sale June 12, 2025, at 11 a.m. ET at There will also be a presale for fans who sign up for early access.

The site warns not to close your browser or navigate away from the page, or you may lose your spot. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a play written by Jack Thorne, based on a story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Thorne. The plot takes place 19 years after the events of J.K. Rowling's novel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Harry is now an adult, married to Ginny Weasley, and serves as the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic. He has three children, including Albus, who is beginning his journey at Hogwarts. After being sorted into Slytherin, Albus struggles with the weight of his family legacy. The play debuted in London's West End in the summer of 2016. Chris Columbus, the director behind the first two Harry Potter films, told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021 that he would be open to directing an adaptation of the stage sequel featuring the original main cast – Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson – as their adult counterparts. "A version of Cursed Child with Dan, Rupert and Emma at the right age, it's cinematic bliss. If you're a film nerd or cinephile, it's kind of like what J.J. Abrams did with Star Wars... There's no question if you're a Star Wars fan, you were moved just seeing them on screen, seeing Harrison Ford as Han Solo again — and Chewy," he said. "I think that would be the same situation for Harry Potter fans. To able to actually see these adult actors now back in these roles? Oh, yeah. It would be amazingly fun to make that film — or two films," Columbus added.

Climber dies from 3,000 feet fall at Denali National Park

A Seattle man who was ascending a climbing route at Denali National Park in Alaska fell 3,000 feet to his death on June 2, the National Park Service said. Alex Chiu, 41, was climbing along the West Buttress route with two others when he fell from Squirrel Point towards the Peters Glacier icecap. His body was recovered two days later, NPS said in a news release on June 4. The group was ski mountaineering, which involves climbing uphill before skiing back downhill. Chiu was not using a rope at the time of the fall, officials said. Denali National Park encompasses more than six million acres of Alaska's wilderness. Mount McKinley, the park's highest peak at more than 20,000 feet, is also the tallest mountain in North America, according to NPS. Falls are the No. 1 cause of death at the park, according to NPS. Over 120 climbers have died at the park since 1932, a spokesperson told USA TODAY in 2022. Along the West Buttress route's treacherous upper portion, at least 14 climbers have died since 1980, NPS said in 2024. Chiu's body was recovered two days after the fatal fall and was transferred to the state medical examiner, NPS said. The two other climbers who were with Chiu at the time of the fall said they lowered over the edge of the peak as far as possible but could not hear or see him. They descended the route to seek help, the release said. Search crews couldn't immediately reach the site by ground or air because of high winds and snow. Once weather began to clear on June 4, rangers searched the area via an aerial helicopter and were able to recover Chiu's body, NPS said. Chiu was an aerospace engineer, according to his LinkedIn profile. In an Instagram post on May 19, Chiu said he spent most weekends alpine climbing before the COVID-19 pandemic. "When I am in the mountains, I realize I was at my best, I was smart, witty, passionate, and bold," he wrote. He said he mostly stopped climbing in the aftermath of the pandemic, but in recent years, began growing more interested in returning to the sport. "So tomorrow I am getting on an airplane to Alaska, in an attempt to climb the third highest peak in the world because I don't want to know what happens to a dream deferred…," he wrote.
