Where to Watch Game 6: OKC Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers
Finding the big game wasn't hard for NBA fans. Game 6 of the NBA Finals was everywhere: ABC handled the traditional broadcast while ESPN and the NBA App offered reliable digital streams. YouTube TV made a big push, plugging the Finals coverage front and center for subscribers. This meant people watching from couches, streaming on phones, or even sneaking clips during dinner all had access to the matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers.
If you missed the live broadcast, highlight compilations popped up fast on the NBA's official channels and sports news outlets. Interviews and post-game breakdowns were just a click away, making it easy to catch up if you couldn't see all four quarters.
Inside the Game: Pacers Fight Back to Force Game 7
Going into Game 6, Oklahoma City was sitting pretty with a 3-2 series lead. But Indiana wasn't ready to pack up their season. The Pacers stepped up at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, making big plays from the opening tip. Tyrese Haliburton played through visible pain but refused to let up, dropping key buckets and directing the offense. On the other side, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — battling a nagging leg injury — tried to will his team across the finish line but found a fired-up Pacers defense everywhere he turned.
This was a game where grit was as important as talent. Jalen Williams, always aggressive attacking the rim, gave Thunder fans hope with acrobatic finishes, but Indiana's T.J. McConnell changed the tone with energetic defensive stops and slick steals. The Pacers clawed out a commanding 108-91 win, outscoring OKC in the paint and on fast breaks, while the home crowd never let up.
The stakes were clear: if Oklahoma City had closed the deal, they would be raising the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Instead, Indiana’s statement win forces a Game 7 — the ultimate pressure-cooker. Every loose ball, every rebound, and every strategic adjustment will matter even more as each team dreams of a title that now hangs in the balance.
Looking to watch the deciding game? Expect ABC to return as the main channel, with streaming on the NBA App, ESPN, and YouTube TV. You can bet the buzz around Game 7 will be even bigger after a back-and-forth Finals since every play could swing the championship either way.
