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.

Jonathan Vilma, NFL analyst and ex-Jets star, arrested in Miami
Former Jets linebacker and current Fox NFL analyst Jonathan Vilma was arrested Wednesday in Miami for driving with a suspended license, according to reporter Andy Slater. Vilma reportedly had been stopped because his tag had expired. He just completed his fifth season calling games for Fox alongside Kenny Albert this past season. 4 Jonathan Vilma in April 2025. Getty Images for Global Champions Arabians Tour Miami Beach The 43-year-old also served as a college football analyst. Vilma joined the media ranks after a successful collegiate and professional career. He was a standout for Miami from 2000-03 before being drafted by the Jets with the No. 12 pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. Vilma's collegiate prowess, including 2003 First-Team All-American honors, has him as a candidate for the 2026 College Football Hall of Fame. 4 Vilma in 2005 with the Jets. Anthony J Causi Vilma won Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2004 and appeared in 55 games for the Jets from 2004-07, including a 2005 campaign in which he led the league with 173 combined tackles (128 solo) and earned his first Pro Bowl nomination. The Jets then traded him to the Saints for a fourth-round pick and a conditional pick before the 2008 season, and he won his lone Super Bowl with New Orleans in 2010. 4 Vilma with the Saints in 2012. AP Vilma spent six seasons with the franchise from 2008-13 and earned two Pro Bowl selections in 2009 and 2010. He appeared in 70 games for the team. He tallied 110 tackles and two sacks during the team's run to its lone Super Bowl. The Saints inducted him into their Hall of Fame in 2017. 4 Vilma in 2012. AP Vilma had a run-in with Miami law enforcers during his time with the Saints after being arrested in 2009 on a felony charge for resisting arrest with violence and being hit with misdemeanor counts of reckless driving and obstruction of justice, according to ESPN. Prosecutors later dropped the charges, per the outlet, and he donated $1,000 to a hospital trauma center as part of the negotiation. 'I appreciate that the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office did their due diligence and decided not to file charges against me regarding the arrest that occurred on January 16, 2009, in Miami,' Vilma said in a statement at the time, according to ESPN. 'I believe the State Attorney's Office did the just and right thing in this matter. I would like to thank my family and friends, the New Orleans Saints organization, and my fans for supporting and believing in me.'

UFC 316: Vicente Luque eager to prove he's still war-ready against Kevin Holland
UFC 316: Vicente Luque eager to prove he's still war-ready against Kevin Holland Show Caption Hide Caption UFC 316: Vicente Luque media day interview UFC 316 fighter Vicente Luque spoke to MMA Junkie and reporters at media day for his main card bout vs. Kevin Holland on Saturday. MORRISTOWN, N.J. – If you think Vicente Luque is no longer capable of taking damage in fights, think again. At UFC 316 on Saturday, Luque (23-10-1 MMA, 16-6 UFC) steps into the cage for the first time in 2025 to face Kevin Holland. The welterweight bout opens up the UFC 316 (ESPN+ pay-per-view) main card at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Holland (27-13 MMA, 14-10 UFC) believes that Luque's days as a hard-nosed fighter capable of walking through punishment are over. In 2022, Luque suffered a knockout loss to Geoff Neal, which led to the discovery of a brain hemorrhage while in the hospital. It was a serious concern, one that Luque took every precaution to ensure he could continue his career. A year later, Luque returned to the cage, defeating former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos. He was then submitted by Joaquin Buckley last March, but got back on track with a first-round, bonus-winning submission of Themba Gorimbo in December. Luque is welcome to challenge the idea that he can't take damage any longer. "Keep an eye open on Saturday, you guys will see if I'm ready or not for war," Luque told reporters at UFC 316 media day. "I'm excited. It's a big fight and a challenging opponent. I like it. He's gonna take out the best out of me for sure." Luque is on the verge of cementing his legacy in the record books. The UFC welterweight leader for total finishes is 14, a record held by Matt Brown. Luque currently sits in second place and will have the opportunity to tie that record Saturday. With a submission finish, he would break out of a three-way second-place tie to be at the same number as Gunnar Nelson at seven. It's something Luque doesn't necessarily chase when the cage door closes, but he admits it would be nice to have his name atop everyone else in the division's history. "That would be awesome," Luque said. "I'm definitely chasing that record. ... I don't chase the finishes, but they just happen. That's my style. That's what I do. I go in there and I fight with all I have, and usually, that's gonna end up in a finish, because I find a submission or a knockout shot. It's gonna come eventually, and if I can get that record, that would be amazing." Holland has had a busy year so far. In January, he was submitted by Reinier de Ridder and then won a unanimous decision over Gunnar Nelson in March. Always one to express himself vocally, Holland, affectionately nicknamed "Big Mouth" by UFC CEO Dana White, is known for talking before, during, and after his fights. Luque knows he won't have any verbal replies to offer, but welcomes whatever comes from his opponent inside the cage. "No, I definitely don't have trash talk, but I have two fists that hit really hard, and that's enough for me," Luque said. "I can talk with my hands. I think it's just fun, you know? I don't think that Holland is really that kind of guy that trash talks as disrespecting you. I think he's more about having fun in there. He's just doing his thing and whatever he does, I'm still going to respond in my way. I'm out there to have a great fight and to beat him. At the end of the day, I want to knock him out and get a big win."
