Young stars sparkle as Thunder, Pacers seek first NBA titles

Oklahoma City, fancied by oddsmakers after an NBA-high 68 regular-season wins, will host Game 1 in the best-of-seven championship series. Game time is set at 8:30 a.m.

Both teams are fast-paced squads with young star point guards, 26-year-old NBA Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the Thunder and Indiana’s 25-year-old Tyrese Haliburton.

The Pacers seek the first NBA crown in their 58-year history while the Thunder, who moved from Seattle in 2008, took the franchise’s only title as the SuperSonics in 1979.
