The 2025 NBA playoffs conference finals picture is complete after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Denver Nuggets in Game 7 on Sunday.
It will be the fifth time the Thunder have competed in the conference finals since arriving in OKC in 2008.
Oklahoma City will have a home-court advantage when starting its Western Conference Finals series against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS: Run, gun and stun. Thunder’s offensive options, suffocating defense too much for Nuggets
Minnesota has not played since clinching the series victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
The Eastern Conference Finals series will feature the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks. The Knicks haven’t played in the conference finals since losing the series 4-2 against the Pacers in 2000.
The Pacers reached the conference finals for the first time in over a decade last season but were swept by the Boston Celtics in four games. Indiana got the best of Boston this season in the semifinals, although Jayson Tatum suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in Game 4.
Here’s the complete NBA playoffs schedule, including results and broadcast information:
