This Week in Sports Trivia: May 29, 2025

Can anyone stop the Oklahoma City Thunder?

It’s a fair question to ask after OKC breezed past the Minnesota Timberwolves and into the NBA Finals. The Thunder are deep, play ferocious defense and have a star in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who embraces the big moment. They’ve also lost only four games through three series, with three of those coming in a seven-game slugfest against Denver.

Whoever comes out of the East — Indiana or New York — will have something to say about it, and the Pacers have been particularly feisty behind star Tyrese Haliburton. So you never know. This is why they play the games, after all.

While you’re ruminating over the NBA playoffs, dive in and take our latest news quiz, which will tackle plenty of headlines across basketball and beyond.

And for kicks, you should play our daily Connections: Sports Edition, too.

Good luck!
