NBA playoff bracket 2025: Schedule, times, scores for conference finals

[ASFN Admin]

The 2025 NBA playoffs are down to one last series, with the 2025 Finals pairing the Oklahoma City Thunder against the Indiana Pacers.

The Thunder have looked very impressive during their run through the Western Conference. A first-round sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies was followed by their only serious gut-check of these playoffs, a seven-game triumph over the Denver Nuggets. The Western Conference finals figured to be a test, but Oklahoma City dispensed with the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games.

In the East, the Pacers have been even more impressive. A feisty series with the Milwaukee Bucks was wrapped up in five, as was Indiana's second-round upset of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Saturday's win over the New York Knicks gave the Pacers a six-game series victory, setting up the battle in the NBA Finals with the Thunder.

Here's the complete NBA playoffs schedule, including bracket, results and broadcast information:
