With the win, the Knicks stay alive in the series and only trail by one game. Just two more wins separates them from an NBA Finals appearance. However, it won’t be easy. The Pacers will do everything in their power to finish the series early. But a win here puts more pressure on Indiana than it does New York, so we’ll see what happens next.
Meanwhile, the Pacers lose the opportunity to end the series early. Should the Thunder beat Minnesota in 5, then Indiana would ideally like to do the same to New York. But at the end of the day, all that matters right now is just advancing to the next round by any means necessary. The Pacers didn’t get this far, only to see their season end via historic comeback. We’ll see if the they’re are able to finish this series back on their home court and in front of the fans.
The series now heads back to Indiana, where the Pacers will hope to close things out. But if the Knicks secure one final win at home, they’ll extend this series to Game 7. Both teams will head back to Indiana for one final bout, and the winner there will head to the NBA Finals. It’s an exciting postseason, and we can’t wait to see how it all ends.
