Last night saw the decisive game of the series, as the Indiana Pacers hosted the New York Knicks on their home court.
Details: Indiana faced a challenging start to the game: they held just a one-point lead after the first quarter—25:24.
Gradually, the hosts found their rhythm against the Knicks, lighting them up from beyond the arc to pull ahead with authority by the end of the third quarter—92:77. This cushion allowed Indiana to calmly close out the contest and seal a final victory at 125:108.
In the finals, Indiana will go head-to-head with Oklahoma, with Game 1 of the series scheduled for June 6th at 2:30 AM.
This marks the team's first appearance in the playoff finals since 2000, when Indiana fell to the Lakers in a 4-2 series.
