The Knicks draw on pride and force Game 6 against the Pacers

Victory for the New York Knicks against the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden with a score of 111-94, allowing them to stay alive for the sixth game of the Eastern Finals. Tom Thibodeau's team played with much more defensive intensity than during the rest of the series, ensuring that no player from the starting five of Indianapolis exceeded fifteen points. Led by Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, they forced the sixth game.

Brunson was on fire, finishing with 32 points on 12 of 18 shooting. He had one of those unstoppable days. Towns also performed at a high level with 24 points and 13 rebounds. Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Josh Hart also made it to double figures off the bench. The home team put on a very solid performance.

On the other hand, after his incredible performance in the fourth game, Tyrese Haliburton only managed 8 points and 6 assists this time, attempting just 7 shots. This lack of aggression towards the basket often prevents him from shining as a superstar. Pascal Siakam finished with 15 points, while Myles Turner only scored 5 after 3 shot attempts. Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith also failed to reach double-digit shot attempts. The starting five collectively made only 3 of 13 three-pointers, with Bennedict Mathurin leading the scoring with 23 points.

The series moves to Indiana for the sixth game, presenting the Pacers with their second match point opportunity.
