🏀 NBA Finals Game 7 Recap: Oklahoma City Thunder are CHAMPIONS!



 


🏆 Thunder Complete the Journey

For the first time in franchise history,
THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER ARE NBA CHAMPIONS.

What started as a full rebuild turned into one of the league’s best young cores lifting the Larry O’Brien trophy.

"This wasn’t bought. This was built."




🔥 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Finals MVP

Shai didn’t just play well —
he controlled these Finals.

And in Game 7? He delivered one of his most complete performances:

  • 29 points

  • 4 rebounds

  • 12 assists

  • 1 steals

  • 2 blocks

Shai orchestrated the offense like a maestro.
When Indiana made runs, he calmed everything down, creating easy looks for teammates.

"Shai was in complete control — this was master-level leadership."


🌪️ The Young Core Steps Up Big

OKC’s depth showed up when it mattered most:

  • Jalen Williams: 20 PTS / 4 REB / 4 AST

  • Chet Holmgren: 18 PTS / 8 REB / 5 BLK

  • Lu Dort: 9 PTS / 7 REB / Defensive energy everywhere

  • Caruso & Wallace combining for key hustle plays

This was a team victory — pure chemistry, hustle, and unselfish basketball.


🧊 Indiana Fought — But Fell Short

Indiana’s run was valiant — but Haliburton’s injury haunted them.
Without their floor general, offensive structure collapsed.

  • Pascal Siakam: 16 PTS / 4 REB / 2 AST

  • Benedict Mathurin: 22 PTS / 13 REB

  • Nembhard & McConnell fought hard, but turnovers piled up.


❗ The Haliburton Effect

After Haliburton’s injury, Indiana had no true go-to scorer or playmaker left.
Since their entire offense runs through him, they struggled badly in half-court sets.

  • They couldn’t initiate clean offensive possessions

  • Ball movement stagnated

  • Multiple turnovers followed

"No Haliburton meant no offensive identity — and in a Game 7, that’s lethal."


🧠 Fufu’s Take

This wasn’t just a Game 7.
This was the birth of a new NBA powerhouse.

  • The youngest Finals MVP since Kawhi

  • A homegrown squad built through smart drafting

  • A future core that could dominate for years

"Oklahoma City has officially arrived. The league better be ready."
