The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Indiana Pacers in the 2025 NBA Finals. The Thunder and Pacers are deadlocked at two games each.

Oklahoma City has to take advantage of Game 5 being played inside the Paycom Center as this series shifts to a best-of-3 given how the first four games have played out.

The Thunder need to take the same level of intensity into this game as they did the fourth quarter of Game 4. While winning that contest was a sigh of relief to avoid a 3-1 hole, the job is no where closed to finish.

For the first time this series, Oklahoma City –– the wide margin favorites –– have a chance to play from the driver's seat if they win this contest on the home hardwood.

The Thunder need the old adage to turn true of role players playing better at home. Oklahoma City also has to dig deep into its historic defense to limit the Pacers who labor to wins when held under 110 points.

Here is how to watch this pivotal game that will go a long way in deciding the NBA Championship.
