The Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks will play Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday, May 31.

The New York Knicks made their comeback in Game 5 of the final round series with a 111-94 win over the Pacers. Led by Jalen Brunson’s 32 points in his record 21st 30-point playoff game, they stayed alive in their finals journey. However, Karl-Anthony Towns added 24 points and 13 rebounds despite a bruised knee, while the Knicks’ defense held their opponent to just 45 first-half points. With the series now 3-2, the Knicks aim to become the 14th team to rally from a 3-1 deficit.

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers missed a golden opportunity to close the series, falling in Game 5. The last knock was their lowest scoring game of the postseason, shooting just 40.5% from the field. Tyrese Haliburton made only eight points and six assists after a dominant Game 4, while Bennedict Mathurin added 23 off the bench.

The upcoming sixth battle is highly anticipated as both teams compete head-to-head. The Indian Pacers aim to capitalize on the home-court advantage, while the Knicks will stretch the series by balancing the lead at 3-3. Tyrese Haliburton needs to bounce back offensively and reassert control as the Pacers’ playmaker.

At the same time, Jalen Brunson’s consistency and leadership remain key. However, Karl-Anthony Towns’ health and presence inside will be pivotal. The outcome will depend on which team imposes its style early and maintains a defensive rhythm.
