OKLAHOMA, United States of America, June 23, 2025/APO Group/ --
**In a Finals Game 7 classic** that featured 11 lead changes and yet another late Indiana comeback, the Thunder got 29 points & 12 assists from Finals MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to hold off a relentless Pacers team, 103-91 ([https://apo-opa.co/44cTtIy](https://apo-opa.co/44cTtIy)), and claim the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
**The win marks the Thunder’s** first championship in the franchise’s Oklahoma City era, as top-seeded OKC — the second-youngest Finals team in the shot-clock era — becomes the fourth team in NBA history to win 84 total games.
**Playing most of the game** without an injured Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana rallied from 22 down to cut OKC’s lead to 10 in the 4th quarter, but never got closer.
**Chet Holmgren recorded** a Finals Game 7-record five blocks to go with 18 points and Jalen Williams dropped 20 as the Thunder won the turnover battle, 21-7.
**Bennedict Mathurin** had 24 off the bench for Indiana. Pascal Siakam (Cameroon) recorded 16 points and 4 rebounds.
