What to Expect
In Game 5, Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 32 points, marking his tenth 30+ point and 5+ assist game this postseason, joining the ranks of legends like Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Karl-Anthony Towns contributed a crucial 24-point, 13-rebound double-double despite knee issues. Defensively, the Knicks limited Tyrese Haliburton to just eight points and forced 19 Pacers turnovers, showcasing a stifling defensive effort.
The Pacers, leading the series 3-2, look to capitalize on their home-court advantage to close out the series and advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2000. However, the Knicks’ strong road record and renewed confidence make them formidable opponents.
