The Oklahoma City Thunder head into their first NBA Finals since 2012 this week. A win this year would give the Thunder their first-ever franchise trophy under their current name (they do have a championship title when they were the Seattle Supersonics), but MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his crew face serious competition against the Indiana Pacers. Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers have proven they’ve got the determination; They’re chasing their first-ever championship title, too. After defeating the Knicks in six during the Eastern Conference finals, they’ll head to Oklahoma City for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday.
Game 1 – and every game of the series – will air live on ABC, which is available as part of a subscription to Hulu + Live TV. Hulu + Live TV is $82.99 per month without ads, but if you want to test it out, you can get a free 3-day trial before committing.
