Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for June 20th, 2025.

I'm Dave DeFour here with S. Berraheny.

Coming up, we're getting a game seven.

The Pacers blew out the thunder in game six in Indy.

We've got Shakia Taylor on the ground in Indy to talk about it.

Good morning, everybody, especially the Indiana Pacers forcing a game seven.

Game seven, the basketball world.

The basketball world, honestly.

We're lucky.

Oh, my God.

This is the finals that just keeps on giving.

Not the greatest game if you're a Thunder fan especially.

And I mean, it was a blowout.

Look, it was a 30-point game heading into the fourth quarter.

And that was then we got into garbage time.

Everything went the Pacers way as you couldn't have drawn it up better.

And I think we start with Tyrese Halliburton, who was questionable to even play.

We got reporting during the day that he would have missed multiple weeks maybe.

If this was the regular season, he looked amazing. Looks for that yeah i wish that my calf uh tear had worked the same way like i mean

what kind of treatment were they doing to this guy i will you know what i will say and a friend of

mine actually texted me this which i thought was intriguing um halberton doesn't necessarily need

to like explode off that calf often, you know? Okay, that's easy to say until you haven't stored a calf. I mean, it's hard to do a lot of stuff. But, I mean, he looked great from the jump. Apparently, he looked good in warmups. You know, we had heard. And so, I mean, he looked amazing in the game. Was able to impact the game early. He was super aggressive to start. I mean, the Pacers, this was actually their game plan, I felt, S, was to be aggressive, try to put the thunder into this math problem by shooting a ton of threes. They hit enough early that it really worked out. I actually think the first quarter, they probably should have had a bigger lead than they did. They were only up three going into that second quarter. But man, everything was going right for them. Well, honestly, they were only up three because they started the game O for eight. And me and you texted back and forth and we're like, Indy's kind of getting good shots.
