The Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks of the Eastern Conference Finals and paved their way through to the NBA Finals. However, they failed to get the championship after a hard-fought 4-3 loss to the Thunder in the 2025 NBA finals. This marks a significant achievement for the Pacers, who finished their regular season in fourth spot and pulled off multiple upsets to reach the summit clash. It was their second overall and first NBA Finals appearance in 25 years for the Pacers.

Pascal Siakam emerged as the Eastern Conference Finals MVP, with his steady offensive output averaging 24.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. In the NBA Finals, the Pacers were facing the OKC Thunder, who defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals. Indiana took the series to Game 7, first Game 7 since 2016 but couldn’t finish the line.
