The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Indiana Pacers for Game 5 of the 2025 NBA Finals on Monday. The pivotal matchup will see who inches closer to a championship as the series is tied at 2-2.

And now, Game 5. The swing game, as some call it. The winner on Monday night — Pacers vs. Thunder in Oklahoma City — will take a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals, moving one win away from hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

In Wednesday night's Game 3 of the NBA Finals, the Pacers were simply better than the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 116-107 victory in a raucous Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It marked the first NBA Finals game in Indianapolis since 2000. The Pacers take a 2-1 series lead with Game 4 back at Gainbridge Fieldhouse at 8:30 p.m. Friday.
