جدول نهائيات الدوري الاميركي للمحترفين لعام 2025

 


 The NBA's final four has come and gone.

The No. 3 New York Knicks took on the No. 4 Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2025 NBA playoffs, while the No. 1 overall-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder and No. 6 Minnesota Timberwolves battled in the Western Conference Finals.

This is the second straight postseason that Indiana and Minnesota, two title-less franchises, reached the conference finals. Meanwhile, New York made its first appearance in the round since 2000 and OKC made its first appearance since 2016.

The East Finals featured a rematch from the second round of last year's playoffs when the Pacers overcame a 3-2 series deficit against the Knicks, winning Game 7 at Madison Square Garden. Indiana rolled through the first two rounds of this postseason, bouncing both the No. 5 Milwaukee Bucks and the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in five games.

Tyrese Haliburton and Co. then booked the franchise's first NBA Finals appearance since 2000, and just second overall. Indiana had lost eight of its last nine conference final series.

The Knicks got past the No. 6 Detroit Pistons in a highly competitive six-game series before beating the defending champion No. 2 Boston Celtics. Jalen Brunson and Co. jumped out to a 3-1 series lead as Boston lost star Jayson Tatum to a ruptured Achilles late in Game 4. The Knicks closed out the series with a Game 6 rout, moving them another step closer to their first championship since all the way back in 1973.

While the East's top two seeds have been eliminated, the NBA-best Thunder are still standing. After sweeping the No. 8 Memphis Grizzlies, OKC was put to the test in Round 2. A showdown of the top two MVP candidates in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic went to the distance, with the Thunder taking the decisive Game 7 over the No. 4 Denver Nuggets in blowout fashion. The Thunder haven't won a title since relocating to OKC, with the franchise's lone championship coming in 1979.

Anthony Edwards and the Wolves, like Indiana, needed just five games to win their two playoff series, taking down the No. 3 Los Angeles Lakers and the No. 7 Golden State Warriors, who lost Steph Curry to a hamstring injury in Game 1. Minnesota has never made the NBA Finals as it made a third-ever conference final appearance.

So, what was the schedule for each conference final series? Here's what to know:
Who has home-court advantage in the Eastern, Western Conference Finals?

Home-court advantage goes to the higher-seeded team, which means the Pacers and Wolves will both start the conference finals on the road.
