Chloe Peterson's prediction: Liberty 93, Fever 81
"The Liberty, already being the defending champions, have only made good additions to their 2025 team. They traded for Natasha Cloud, a 10-year veteran, got Marine Johannes back after she took a year off from the WNBA to play for the French National Team, and retained their core of Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Sabrina Ionescu.
"The Liberty started the season with a convincing win over the Aces (and reigning MVP A'ja Wilson) and followed that up with a 25-point win over Chicago.
"New York, two games into the season, is already a well-developed team. And Indiana is still figuring things out. Sophie Cunningham just returned from injury, and the Fever are still trying to determine lineups, rotations, and fitting their newcomers into the fold."
1 p.m. ET Saturday, May 24, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Three-Time NBA Champion Singles Out Pascal Siakam Amid Finals
Three-Time NBA Champion Singles Out Pascal Siakam Amid Finals originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Indiana's Cinderella run to the NBA Finals has captured the league's attention. After entering the playoffs as a No. 4 seed following a successful 50-32 campaign during the regular season, the Pacers knocked off the 64-win Cavaliers in Round 2 and the No. 3 Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. Now, for the first time since 2000, the Pacers enter the finals where they meet the Oklahoma City Thunder on basketball's biggest stage. Advertisement Pascal Siakam has been central to that surge. In the 2024-25 regular season, he averaged 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 38.9 percent from three over 78 games. Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (43) dribbles the ball against Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (9)© Kyle Terada-Imagn Images Former Toronto Raptors teammate Danny Green didn't mince words when previewing Game 4. 'This is the most important game for everybody on that floor outside of Pascal Siakam,' Green said, singling out Siakam's Finals experience. Green knows Siakam better than most, as they shared the court as teammates on Toronto Raptor's 2019 championship run under coach Nick Nurse. In Game 1 of the 2019 Finals, Siakam erupted for 32 points on 14-of-17 shooting to defeat the Stephen Curry led Golden State Warriors. Over that series, he averaged 19.8 points and 7.5 rebounds, aiding Kawhi Leonard in route to Toronto's first NBA Finals championship in franchise history. Advertisement Siakam's journey—from a 27th-overall pick in 2016 to a three-time All-Star—has been marked by constant growth. Under coach Rick Carlisle, Siakam has embraced an expanded leadership role, guiding Indiana's balanced attack alongside Tyrese Haliburton. As Game 4 approaches, Green's message underscores a simple truth: Indiana's Finals success hinges on Siakam sustaining that championship pedigree. If he replicates the energy and efficiency he showed in Toronto—and the Pacers' supporting cast holds up—Indiana could write the next chapter in one of the NBA's most improbable title quests. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

Pacers vs. Thunder NBA Finals: Indiana coach Rick Carlisle calls criticism of referee Scott Foster "awful," "stupid"
OKLAHOMA CITY — Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle on Sunday decried the swell of public criticism of the officiating that flowed following the Oklahoma City Thunder's Game 4 win in the 2025 NBA Finals, describing the carping on perceived mistaken calls and non-calls — specifically those involving longtime NBA referee Scott Foster — as, among other things, 'awful' and 'stupid.' During his news conference at Indiana's Sunday practice session ahead of Game 5 on Monday, Carlisle fielded a question about how much of a role he felt the officiating played in Game 4, which featured 53 personal fouls, two flagrant fouls, two technical fouls and 71 total free throws — all high-water marks for the series. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shot 10 of those free throws, including eight in the fourth quarter, as part of a 15-point final frame that helped Oklahoma City erase a 10-point third-quarter deficit to tie the series at two games apiece. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle speaks with referee Josh Tiven during the second half of Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Friday, June 13, 2025, in Indianapolis. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy) (ASSOCIATED PRESS) Foster, who's been officiating NBA games since 1992, called 23 of those fouls, according to analysis by Yahoo Sports contributing NBA writer Tom Haberstroh: Some fans and pundits called foul on the elevated total number of calls in general, and the number of times Foster blew his whistle in particular. Carlisle made clear on Sunday he found the critiques offensive. Advertisement 'As far as officiating, I think it's awful, some of the things I've seen about the officiating, and Scott Foster, in particular,' Carlisle said. 'I've known Scott Foster for 30 years. He's a great official. He's done a great job in these playoffs. We've had him a lot of times, and the ridiculous scrutiny that's being thrown out there is terrible, and unfair, and unjust. It's stupid.' Asked which critiques specifically he'd seen and was referring to, Carlisle declined to elaborate. 'I'm not getting into it,' he said. 'I've said what I'm going to say.' After Game 4, Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said he didn't see anything untoward in the uptick in whistles — referred to by one reporter as 'a crap-ton of free throws.' 'Well, there were a crap-ton of fouls — that's why there were a crap-ton of free throws,' Daigneault said. 'I thought the refs did a good job tonight. Both teams shot a lot of free throws. It was physical. That was what the game was. It was a physical game on both ends of the floor for both teams.'

Pacers, Thunder getting set for a pivotal Game 5 in an NBA Finals that has been back-and-forth
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The ratings are down for these NBA Finals, as was expected. Oklahoma City vs. Indiana is a small-market series and the numbers reflect that, with viewership down about 20% from last season and on pace for the poorest TV turnout since the pandemic 'bubble' finals in 2020. Don't blame the Thunder and Pacers for that. It's been a back-and-forth over the first four games — and now, a best-of-three will decide the NBA title. Game 5 is in Oklahoma City on Monday night, with the Thunder trying to take their first lead of the series and the Pacers trying to head back home one win away from a championship. 'I do not care, to be honest with you,' Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton said when asked what he'd say to those who, for whatever reason, haven't tuned into the series. 'This is high-level basketball and I'm excited to be a part of it.' Game 1 had a frantic Indiana comeback and a Haliburton buzzer-beater. Game 2 saw Oklahoma City do what it has done in the majority of games all season: take full control early and roll to a win. Game 3 in Indiana had the Pacers' bench fueling a win. And Game 4 saw the MVP do MVP things, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scoring 15 points in the final five minutes to carry the Thunder to a comeback win. Add it up, and it's Thunder 2, Pacers 2. The Thunder are outscoring the Pacers by 3.3 points per game; the Pacers are outshooting the Thunder by 1.4%. It's only the third time in the last 15 years that the finals have had all that through four games — 2-2 tie, 3.3-point differential or less, shooting within 1.4% of each other. Golden State-Boston had it in 2022, and Dallas-Miami had it in 2011. It all seems pretty even, and the looks aren't deceiving. 'It's good for y'all,' Thunder guard Alex Caruso said. 'Good for me, we'd be getting ready for a parade right now.' Parades in Indianapolis or Oklahoma City are going to have to wait at least until this coming weekend. This series seems like it could have debunked some of the tired complaints about the game in recent years: the nobody-plays-defense, too-much-isolation, too-many-3s arguments that have been out there. 'I think from an outside perspective it's great for the league,' Caruso said. 'It's great for basketball. I think these two teams play stylistically the best versions of basketball right now as far as pressure and being influencing and aggressive on defense — causing turnovers, making stuff hard and then offensively free-flowing, shot making, passing the ball. ... A great brand of basketball.' And that means it could end up as a great finals, whether more people start watching or not. 'We appreciate the opportunity to play this deep into the season,' Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. 'If you're playing this deep into the season, your opponent is going to be really good. They have won 12 games to get to this point just like we have. You just know it's going to be an unbelievable level. There are definitely times in it where (you're saying), 'Man, this is a high, high level.'' This marks the 32nd time that a finals has been 2-2 going into Game 5. The winner of Game 5 has gone on to ultimately prevail in 23 of the 31 previous occasions. 'We are both two games away,' Haliburton said. 'Anything can happen here.' ___ AP NBA:
