The run of “Inside the NBA” on TNT came to an end on Saturday night, after nearly four decades as a fixture of the league. The show will move to ESPN and ABC next season — and keep Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley together, still doing most shows from Atlanta — but the final TNT sign-off was an emotional one.

The NBA Finals are set, as the Indiana Pacers bested the New York Knicks on Saturday, May 31, to win the Eastern Conference and earn the right to face off with the Oklahoma City Thunder -- the league's top team during the regular season (68-14) and the No. 1 seed in the West.

NBA Finals are now set after the Indiana Pacers eliminated the New York Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday night.

What are the most important matchups? What history is at stake? Zach Kram and Kevin Pelton take an early look at Thunder-Pacers.

The Pacers come in as decided underdogs against the team that had the NBA's best record this season (68-14). These teams met twice in the regular season, with the Thunder winning both ( 120-114 on Dec. 26 in Indianapolis; 132-111 in March 29 in OKC).

It's officially official that the 2024-25 NBA season will not be the one in which the New York Knicks snap a championship drought that dates back to 1973.

Charles Barkley steered the conversation away from the Eastern Conference Finals in a classic moment on TNT's final show.
