NBA Finals 2025: How to Watch Pacers vs. Thunder Game 1 Tonight
The NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers starts tonight. The top seed in the West, the Thunder needed seven games to get past the Denver Nuggets in round 2 but have otherwise had an easy time in the playoffs, sweeping their first-round series and dropping only one game in the conference finals. The Pacers are the No. 4 seed in the East and have also lost only four games in the playoffs before reaching the finals. The Thunder are heavy favorites to hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy, but it should be a fun NBA Finals. Both teams like to run and play fast, so fans can expect high-scoring games. And each team is led by a phenomenal point guard and floor leader: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the Thunder and Tyrese Haliburton for the Pacers.

The fire broke out sometime around 6 a.m. ET at Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority's (SEPTA) facility in the 2400 block of Roberts Avenue near Pulaski Avenue, the Philadelphia Fire Department reported.

Why did Yulissa leave the villa? 'Love Island' star exits after racist remarks surface
Why did Yulissa leave the villa? 'Love Island' star exits after racist remarks surface Show Caption Hide Caption 'Love Island USA' host Ariana Madix on if she watches 'The Valley' "Love Island USA" host Ariana Madix explains to USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa what it would take to get her back on Bravo reality TV show. The latest season of "Love Island" isn't yet a week old, and already it's mired in scandal. Contestant Yulissa Escobar was abruptly ousted from the villa with little explanation from narrator Iain Stirling during the second episode of Season 7, which aired June 4. Different from the traditional departures, in which contestants are either voted off by the public or their fellow "islanders," Escobar seems to have been removed by the powers that be. USA TODAY has reached out to Peacock, which airs the show, for comment. For many, her exit was welcome – before the show even began to air, Escobar, 27, became the subject of controversy when several clips of her using a racial slur on a podcast surfaced. Backlash quickly reached a fever pitch online, with fans of the show vowing to vote her off when they got the chance. 'Love Island USA' host Ariana Madix reveals she eavesdrops on contestants: 'I love gossip' That opportunity never came, however, when just short of 20 minutes into the show, Stirling said simply, "Yulissa has left the villa." Escobar, who had used a racial slur toward Black people when describing a previous relationship, was coupled up with 22-year-old Ace Greene from Los Angeles. With the Miami native gone, Greene is now single, free to "recouple" with the other bikini-clad twentysomethings looking for love in NBC's Fiji "Love Island" villa. "Love Island USA," a spin-off of the popular U.K. reality series, has proven a massive boon for NBC, particularly Season 6, which produced three closely followed couples. The format, which sees eligible singles from across the country live in a villa, summer camp style, and play musical chairs with their romantic relationships, is ripe for online commentary. As fans get to watch along, sometimes voting their least-liked individuals out, the side conversation around the happenings in the villa becomes as much an activity as watching the show itself. New episodes of Love Island USA stream daily at 9 p.m. E.T. on Peacock.
