The New York Knicks maintained control from start to finish in a 111-94 win over the Indiana Pacers in Game 5. With the victory, Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks extended the series to a crucial Game 6, set to take place on Saturday.
Despite still trailing 2-3 in the series, the Knicks received a boost heading into Game 6 with encouraging news. The entire roster is clear of any injury concerns. That includes Towns, who is expected to be available and suit up for the must-win game.
Towns had been listed as questionable ahead of Game 5 after suffering a knee injury late in the fourth quarter of Game 4. The injury occurred during a collision with Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith, with only two minutes left in the contest.
Nevertheless, KAT showed resilience and stepped up when his team needed him most. He logged 36 minutes on the court and delivered a standout performance with 24 points and 13 rebounds, shooting 10-of-20 from the field to help power the Knicks to victory.
