There's no telling what actually led to Tom Thibodeau being booted from the New York Knicks job aside from not getting the job done this season, though the fallout is beginning to generate some interesting buzz.
After six weeks of riveting playoff action across both conferences, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers will begin the NBA Finals on Thursday (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC). It'll be the start of a best-of-seven affair to determine which team will claim its first NBA championship. (Indiana won multiple ABA titles; Oklahoma City has one prior NBA crown from when the franchise was the Seattle SuperSonics.) One of the teams also will become the league's seventh consecutive new champion, establishing a record for parity in the NBA.
INDIANAPOLIS: Pascal Siakam scored 31 points, Tyrese Haliburton had 21 points and 13 assists, and the Indiana Pacers pulled away for a 125-108 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 6 on Saturday night to reach the NBA Finals for the second time in franchise history. Obi Toppin added 18 points and six rebounds against his former team as the gold-clad crowd gave the starters a roaring ovation when they departed with 47.2 seconds left. Indiana will visit Oklahoma City for Game 1 on Thursday night. OG Anunoby led the Knicks with 24 points. Karl-Anthony Towns had 22 points and 14 rebounds, while Jalen Brunson added 19 points as the Pacers’ relentless ball pressure forced New York into 17 turnovers. The Knicks still have not reached the Finals since 1999, and they couldn’t extend the series in a game that was tough and physical right from the start. Whether it was Towns limping after drawing a foul or Haliburton holding his jaw when he took a shot that knocked him to the ground, the tone was set early — and never really changed with so much at stake. Indiana finally broke open a close game by opening the second half on a 9-0 run to take a 78-63 lead courtesy of three straight 3-pointers — two from Thomas Bryant and one from Andrew Nembhard.

Indianapolis was the center of the sports world on Sunday night, when the NBA’s Eastern Conference finals and the Indianapolis 500 went on practically back-to-back. The Indy 500 was raced, as it always is, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, an enclave of Indianapolis named after its most famous feature, while the Pacers hosted the New York Knicks in Game 3 of the conference finals at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis proper.
NEW YORK — Tyrese Haliburton tied the score with a long jumper that bounced high off the back of the rim and in as time expired in regulation, then the Indiana Pacers went on to finish off their stunning rally by beating the New York Knicks 138-135 on Wednesday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.
