Pascal Siakam won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP Award after leading the Pacers in the series-clinching win over the Knicks.
The Pacers come in as decided underdogs against the team that had the NBA's best record this season (68-14). These teams met twice in the regular season, with the Thunder winning both ( 120-114 on Dec. 26 in Indianapolis; 132-111 in March 29 in OKC).
