The 2025 NBA Finals have arrived and the matchup is an enticing one, pitting the best team record-wise all season in the Oklahoma City Thunder, led by 2024-25 MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, against the scrappy Indiana Pacers, headlined by sharpshooting, do-it-all point guard Tyrese Haliburton.
Aside from the teams and the players, one of the storylines of these NBA Finals will inevitably be the officiating crew, given both the stakes of the contests ahead, as well as the skillful ability of Gilgeous-Alexander to draw fouls, a key part of his game that could help swing the series in either direction, depending upon the whistle he receives.
