Oklahoma City — It started with 30 teams, most of them fairly optimistic about their chances when the season began eight months and 1,320 games and 35,543 3-pointers and 299,608 points ago. Only two teams remain. For one game. Game 7.

For the first time in nine years, the NBA title comes down to a Game 7. League MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads the charge with the Oklahoma City Thunder against the underdog Indiana Pacers and Tyrese Haliburton.
