If you were able to set aside the basketball-related stupor the 2024-25 version of the Philadelphia 76ers placed you in, you have been treated to a very entertaining NBA postseason over the past six weeks. With Indiana defeating New York, 125-108, in Saturday’s Game 6, this year’s NBA Finals matchup is now set between the Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, who dispatched Minnesota in a gentleman’s sweep.
While imagining the Sixers in the Finals feels like a wild pipe dream coming off a 24-win season, Philadelphia-related storylines will still leave an imprint on this title round.
