It’s win or go home and Indiana is 1-1 at home so far in the series and will need a big game from Tyrese Haliburton or Pascal Siakam after combining for 15 points in the last game. Jalen Brunson led New York with 32 points in Game 5, while Karl-Anthony Towns posted 24 points and 13 rebounds.
The Indiana Pacers will try to take advantage of a second chance to eliminate the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals at home on Saturday night. Indiana is looking to make the second NBA Finals appearance in franchise history and the first in 25 years.
Indiana has played very well at home over the last two years in the postseason. They feel that they can beat anyone in Gainbridge Fieldhouse behind the energy of the crowd. So far this postseason, Haliburton is averaging 18.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 9.5 assists per game.
The Knicks' starting lineup change and use of additional depth has been particularly effective in slowing Andrew Nembhard and Myles Turner.
The Knicks won on their home floor for the first time in the series and prevented the Pacers from earning the second NBA Finals trip in franchise history.
