Game 7: After a back-and-forth NBA Finals, it's time for the Thunder and Pacers to decide the title
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma City Thunder coach Mark Daigneault knows exactly why the NBA Finals are coming down to a Game 7. 'It's a contest of wills,' he said. And to this point, neither side has lost its will. Back and forth they have gone, the Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. Indiana led the series, then Oklahoma City tied it, then Indiana retook the lead, then Oklahoma City tied it again, then it was the Thunder who moved one win away and then the Pacers knotted the matchup for a third time. After all that, Game 7. It happens Sunday, with tipoff at 8:07 p.m. Eastern, for the NBA title. After six games — some close, some blowouts, the teams alternating who is in control of the series — there clearly is a mutual admiration between the clubs. 'It's two teams where the whole is better than the sum of the parts,' Daigneault said. 'It's two teams that are highly competitive. Two teams that play together. Two teams that kind of rely on the same stuff for their success that are squaring off against each other.' It is the 20th Game 7 in NBA Finals history. Home teams went 15-4 in the previous 19. Indiana is seeking its first NBA title; Oklahoma City would say the same, although the franchise won the 1979 title when the team played in Seattle. And the winner will become the seventh different champion in the last seven seasons, a run of parity like none other in NBA history. Pacers forward Pascal Siakam was part of the Toronto team that won in 2019, Thunder guard Alex Caruso was part of the Los Angeles Lakers team that won in the pandemic 'bubble' in 2020, Milwaukee won in 2021, Golden State in 2022, Pacers forward Thomas Bryant and Denver prevailed in 2023 and Boston won last year's title. Late Sunday night, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will hand the Larry O'Brien Trophy to either the Thunder or Pacers — one of whom will become the ninth franchise to win a title in Silver's 12 seasons leading the league. His predecessor, David Stern, saw eight different franchises win championships in his 30 seasons as commissioner. 'You never know how it's going to go,' Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. 'I'd be lying if I said this has gone exactly as I expected because each playoff series, each game is a different thing. Each game takes on a different personality, has different characteristics. Different guys step up. Different situations happen, etc. The truth is that nothing else previous to this matters at all now. We're just down to one game and one opportunity. We're really looking forward to it.'

Justin Thomas Nearly Hits Travelers Championship Official with Driver
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The third round of the Travelers Championship saw Justin Thomas drop 13 spots on the leaderboard after carding a 9 on the 13th hole. However, that was nearly the least of his problems on Saturday. A video that has gone viral on social media shows Thomas hitting a driver tee shot during Moving Day. The 16-time PGA Tour winner is seeing releasing his grip before completing his swing, and the club flies out of his hands, travelling to the edge of the tee box, right into the direction of a volunteer. Fortunately for everyone, the driver edged the volunteer, but did not hit him. Nevertheless, it could have been an extremely dangerous accident. Although not exactly the same, club throwing has recently been in the spotlight. Players such as Wyndham Clark, Jon Rahm, and Rory McIlroy have received varying degrees of criticism for such behavior in the past few weeks. Although the video doesn't show which hole this tee shot was from, it's likely Thomas was already nursing the frustration of the round. As it turns out, after an excellent Friday, he had a Saturday to forget. Thomas started Moving Day without much fanfare, with a birdie on the first hole and a bogey on the second. From there, he parred the next 10 holes, until the debacle arrived on the 13th. Justin Thomas of the United States plays his shot from the seventh tee during the third round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 21, 2025 in Cromwell, Connecticut. Justin Thomas of the United States plays his shot from the seventh tee during the third round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 21, 2025 in Cromwell, two-time major champion sent his tee shot out of the planet to the left, resulting in a one-stroke penalty. He hit the fairway with his third shot and reached the rough at the edge of the green with his fourth. There, he looked like any double-digit handicapper, needing three strokes to get out of the rough. He then two-putted inside 6 feet for a nine. Thomas responded with a birdie on the 14th hole but parred the final four to finish the round at 3-over. This brought his 54-hole score to 6-under, tying him for 14th place with 18 holes to play. The previous day, Thomas had a completely different experience, carding seven birdies and a bogey for a 64. His scorecard included five consecutive birdies on the back nine, propelling him right into a share of the lead with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
