The 2025 NBA Finals continue on Sunday, June 8, between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder with a surprising team holding a 1-0 series lead.

Through much of Game 1, the Thunder showed why it entered the finals as the clear favorite, leading by as many as 15 points in the fourth quarter until the Pacers pulled off a dramatic comeback.

Tyrese Haliburton, who contributed 14 points and 10 rebounds, gave the Pacers the lead with 0.3 seconds remaining in the contest with a clutch jumper. It would be enough to secure the shocking 111-110 win.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a prolific night for Oklahoma City, dropping 38 points on 14-for-30 shooting. Pascal Siakam led the way for Indiana, posting 19 points on 7-for-15 from the field.

It all adds up to a must-see Game 2. USA TODAY Sports - including NBA reporter Jeff Zillgitt from Oklahoma City and NBA reporter Lorenzo Reyes - will provide the latest updates, highlights, analysis and more throughout the game. Follow along.

Where is Game 2 between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder?

The Oklahoma City Thunder hosts the Indiana Pacers at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City for Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Pacers forward Jarace Walker remains out

OKLAHOMA CITY — Pacers second-year forward Jarace Walker (sprained right ankle) is out for Game 2, and Indiana coach Rick Carlisle it not sure if he can return for this series.

"He's doing better but he's not close to playing," Carlisle said. "He's on one crutch. Hopefully going to be off crutches in the next day or so. I mean, it's a long series. It's 18 days. He's young. There's a possibility he could get back. But right now, it's been nine days, I think, since it happened. He's not there yet." ‒ Jeff Zillgitt

NBA Finals logo: Why isn't the iconic logo on the court?

As Game 1 of the NBA Finals began at Paycom Center, discerning fans on social media asked: “Why aren’t there NBA Finals logos on the court?”

For the most part – there are two exceptions – the NBA has not placed Finals logos on the court since the 2014 Finals.

Some fans clamored to see a court that matched the magnitude of the event – meaning they didn’t want to see a court that was no different than a regular-season game. It was pointed out that the league’s NBA Cup court has logos on it for the in-season tournament.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver took note of the comments and explained.

USA TODAY Sports's Jeff Zillgitt breaks down why the logo is absent from the court this series.
