The Indiana Pacers are on the cusp of a return trip to the NBA Finals as they head home for Game 6 against the New York Knicks with a 3-2 series lead. After a Game 5 loss, the Pacers are looking to close out the series just like they did in the 2000 Eastern Conference Finals when they defeated the Knicks to advance. New York, led by Jalen Brunson's scoring prowess and the dominant play of Karl-Anthony Towns, will be fighting to extend the series and force a Game 7.
The Knicks will need big performances from Towns and Mitchell Robinson, along with Brunson's scoring ability, to stay alive in the series. With Brunson making his mark with driving points, the Pacers will need to tighten up their defense to secure the win and advance to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals. It's all on the line in Game 6, and fans will be eagerly watching to see if the Pacers can seal the deal or if the Knicks will force a deciding Game 7 for a shot at the ultimate prize.
