OKLAHOMA City Thunder star Jalen Williams said the thought of a Game 7 in the NBA Finals “makes the hair on your arm stand up a little bit.”
-
Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle called it “a time to celebrate.”
On Sunday night, the Thunder and Pacers will square off in Oklahoma City in a decisive game to end a back-and-forth series.
The Thunder are looking for their first title since moving to Oklahoma City in 2008. The franchise won the 1979 title in Seattle.
Indiana is looking for its first NBA championship, though the Pacers won three ABA titles, the most recent of which came in 1973.
This will be the 20" NBA Finals Game 7 in league history and the first since the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors on the road in 2016.
“As you go on in your competitive life in sports, what you learn is that these moments are rare and trying to duplicate this kind of situation is something that you look to do in everyday life,” said Carlisle, who coached the Dallas Mavericks to the 2011 title. “It’s not easy to do that. I’m very much looking forward to Game 7.”
