NBA Finals Game 2 updates: Thunder vs. Pacers predictions, time, where to watch
NBA Finals Game 2 updates: Thunder vs. Pacers predictions, time, where to watch Show Caption Hide Caption Pacers and Thunder NBA Finals is better than it's 'small-market' billing USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt breaks down the star-studded NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder. Sports Pulse The 2025 NBA Finals continue on Sunday, June 8, between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder with a surprising team holding a 1-0 series lead. Through much of Game 1, the Thunder showed why it entered the finals as the clear favorite, leading by as many as 15 points in the fourth quarter until the Pacers pulled off a dramatic comeback. Tyrese Haliburton, who contributed 14 points and 10 rebounds, gave the Pacers the lead with 0.3 seconds remaining in the contest with a clutch jumper. It would be enough to secure the shocking 111-110 win. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a prolific night for Oklahoma City, dropping 38 points on 14-for-30 shooting. Pascal Siakam led the way for Indiana, posting 19 points on 7-for-15 from the field. It all adds up to a must-see Game 2. USA TODAY Sports - including NBA reporter Jeff Zillgitt from Oklahoma City and NBA reporter Lorenzo Reyes - will provide the latest updates, highlights, analysis and more throughout the game. Follow along. What time is Thunder vs Pacers game today? The Oklahoma City Thunder hosts the Indiana Pacers for Game 2 of the NBA Finals at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City.

Where to watch Indiana Pacers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Game 2 Watch the NBA Finals with Fubo Where is Game 2 between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder? The Oklahoma City Thunder hosts the Indiana Pacers at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City for Game 2 of the NBA Finals. As Game 1 of the NBA Finals began at Paycom Center, discerning fans on social media asked: 'Why aren't there NBA Finals logos on the court?' For the most part – there are two exceptions – the NBA has not placed Finals logos on the court since the 2014 Finals. Some fans clamored to see a court that matched the magnitude of the event – meaning they didn't want to see a court that was no different than a regular-season game. It was pointed out that the league's NBA Cup court has logos on it for the in-season tournament. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver took note of the comments and explained. USA TODAY Sports's Jeff Zillgitt breaks down why the logo is absent from the court this series. The Oklahoma City Thunder are favorites to even the series 1-1 with the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals, according to BetMGM (odds as of Saturday, June 7): Spread : Thunder (-10.5) : Thunder (-10.5) Moneyline : Thunder (-625); Pacers (+450) : Thunder (-625); Pacers (+450) Over/under: 228.5 The Oklahoma City Thunder enter Game 2 as the favorite to win the 2025 NBA Finals over the Indiana Pacers, according to BetMGM (odds as of Saturday, June 7) Series winner: Thunder (-350); Pacers (+275) USA TODAY: Every expert picks the Thunder Ahead of the series opener, all of the NBA experts at USA TODAY Sports picked the Oklahoma City Thunder to beat the Indiana Pacers in the 2025 NBA Finals Scooby Axson: Thunder in five Thunder in five Cydney Henderson: Thunder in six Thunder in six Jordan Mendoza: Thunder in six Thunder in six Lorenzo Reyes: Thunder in six Thunder in six Heather Tucker: Thunder in five Thunder in five James Williams: Thunder in six Thunder in six Jeff Zillgitt: Thunder in five USA TODAY: Nearly every expert picks the Thunder in Game 2 Scooby Axson: Pacers 124, Thunder 117 Pacers 124, Thunder 117 Jordan Mendoza : Thunder 104, Pacers 92 : Thunder 104, Pacers 92 Lorenzo Reyes : Thunder 111, Pacers 102 : Thunder 111, Pacers 102 Heather Tucker : Thunder 117, Pacers 110 : Thunder 117, Pacers 110 James Williams : Thunder 115, Pacers 95 : Thunder 115, Pacers 95 Jeff Zillgitt: Thunder 120, Pacers 109 The Oklahoma City Thunder host the Indiana Pacers at 8 p.m. ET with coverage on ABC.

Dana White: 'Jon Jones was offered the deal and accepted the deal' to fight Tom Aspinall
There may be some hope left after all in never-ending saga between UFC heavyweight champions Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall. The MMA community at large has seemingly grown tired of the lengthy wait for Jones and Aspinall to have their long-awaited title unification clash, so much so that a online petition to strip Jones of his UFC heavyweight title has been created and signed by nearly 200,000 people, just to finally move on from the teased bout. Advertisement To make matters more frustrating, Jones has continued to troll the situation relentlessly on social media over recent weeks. But speaking Saturday following UFC 316 in Newark, New Jersey, UFC CEO Dana White indicated that he remains hopeful for the current heavyweight situation to work itself out. 'I've been saying [the Aspinall fight will happen] since the beginning, and Jon Jones agreed to do the fight [against Aspinall]," White said. "Jon Jones was offered the deal and accepted the deal. "Unless you hear it come from [my mouth] or we put out a press release, don't believe any of this bulls***. Unless we come out and say something, it's all bulls***. ... But yes, Jon agreed to fight Tom, fact.' Advertisement Jones' absence is becoming so prolonged that he's is closing in on making bizarre history as the longest reigning UFC heavyweight champion of all time, despite only defending the title once since winning it against Ciryl Gane in March 2023. Among his latest social media posts have been comments about not caring if he's stripped of the title and criticizing interim titlist Aspinall. Jones, 37, has even gone so far as to suggest he's more interested in a previously failed fight with PFL's Francis Ngannou than Aspinall. White admitted to having been forwarded the aforementioned petition to strip Jones of the belt by "every human on Earth," but hasn't kept up with Jones' latest ventings. "F***ing crazy," White reacted. "I've been busy, I haven't been keeping up with the gossip. [Jones] comes back either today or came back yesterday — he was in Thailand, so he's home [now]. We'll be home tonight, and Tuesday, we'll figure this out. Tom Aspinall's the guy. Advertisement "Listen, if the guy wants to retire and doesn't want to fight, [there's] nothing you can do. I didn't want Khabib (Nurmagomedov) to retire. I thought [Daniel Cormier] should have stuck around longer. It's none of my business. I'll do what I can to make the fight if we can. If he's talking that crazy s***, I didn't realize that." Regarding Ngannou, that's a door White has seemingly slammed shut in the years since Ngannou departed the UFC as its heavyweight champion in 2023. The UFC boss remains unreceptive to even entertaining the concept of Jones vs. Ngannou, stating that it's England's finest or no one at all for Jones. "It's Aspinall's fight. We've been talking to this kid forever about it," White said. "You can't make people fight. If Jon doesn't want to fight, we can't make him fight. We can try to make him fight. We can throw things at him that inspire him to want to fight. But we'll figure it out.'
