Indiana Pacers have qualified for their second NBA Finals in their history after defeating the New York Knicks 125-108 in the sixth game of the Eastern Finals. Although the pace of the game and the key player once again was Tyrese Haliburton, the MVP was Pascal Siakam (31 points). The Knicks, heading home despite eliminating the Celtics, who were once again eliminated by Indianapolis, will now face an even tougher challenge against Oklahoma City Thunder.
The game was even until the third quarter, where Carlisle's team stepped up their defense and suffocated Thibodeau's squad. The rotation was key, with Jalen Brunson inflicting much damage and ultimately overpowering an opponent that was clearly inferior throughout the series. Haliburton finished with 21 points and 13 assists. Obi Toppin scored 18 off the bench. Despite OG Anunoby's 24 (the standout player by far), Karl-Anthony Towns' 22, or a lost Brunson's 19, it was all in vain for the Knicks.
