The New York Knicks forced a game 6 despite many believing the series would be done at the Madison Square Garden. The Knicks travel to Indianapolis for a final attempt to save the series and take it to their home court.

The Pacers appeared complacent after strong earlier performances in the series. They were expected to seal the deal in the game 5, but the Knicks nicked it just in time, making a clutch comeback.

The Knicks looked hungrier and more focused throughout Thursday’s Game 5 clash. Most of the crucial Pacers’ players lagged, with Tyrese Haliburton contributing only 8 points. Aaron Nesmith scored 3, Myles Turner 5, and Andrew Nembhard just 6.
