Pacers stifle Knicks to push series to Game 7 in NBA Playoffs

The Indiana Pacers have forced a Game 7 against the New York Knicks in a thrilling playoff series that has fans on the edge of their seats.

In a crucial Game 6, the Pacers delivered a stellar defensive performance and got a standout performance from Pascal Siakam, who scored 25 points to lead Indiana to a 116-103 victory over the Knicks. The win tied the series at 3-3 and set up a winner-take-all Game 7 in New York.

This Game 7 will be the first at Madison Square Garden since 1995, adding even more excitement to an already intense series. The Knicks will be looking to defend their home court and advance to the next round, while the Pacers will be aiming to pull off an upset on the road.

The Pacers’ key players stepped up in Game 6, with Siakam leading the charge on offense and the team’s defense stifling the Knicks’ star player, Jalen Brunson. Despite Brunson’s 31-point performance, the Pacers were able to contain him and secure the win.

However, the Knicks faced some challenges of their own, with starting guard Josh Hart exiting the game with abdominal soreness. The team will be hoping for his quick recovery ahead of the crucial Game 7.

One player to watch in Game 7 is Knicks guard OG Anunoby, who has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since Game 2. His potential return could be a game-changer for the Knicks, who have missed his presence on both ends of the court.

As the series heads to a decisive Game 7, both teams will be looking to leave it all on the court and secure a spot in the next round of the playoffs. Fans can expect a thrilling and intense matchup between these two talented teams.
