The New York Knicks are still in the fight for the Eastern Conference title, stunning the Indiana Pacers with a resounding 111-94 victory in Game 5 of the playoff series. This crucial win not only keeps their hopes alive but pushes the series to a tense Game 6 on Saturday, with Indiana ahead 3-2.

This impressive win breaks the Pacers’ remarkable four-game streak of securing playoff series victories—a franchise record, according to ESPN Research. The Knicks now have their sights set on achieving something they haven't done since 2000: winning multiple elimination games in a single postseason.

Leading the charge for New York was Jalen Brunson, who dazzled with 32 points, showcasing his skills at just the right moment. He was supported by Karl-Anthony Towns, who added a double-double of 24 points and 13 rebounds. Together, Brunson and Towns made history as the second duo in NBA history to score over 20 points in each of the first five games of a Conference Finals.

Brunson’s five assists also secured his spot as one of the few players to achieve at least 30 points and five assists in ten postseason games before reaching the NBA Finals, underlining his importance to the team.

On the opposing side, the Pacers faced a rocky road as their offense faltered. Star player Pascal Siakam managed to score just 15 points, while Tyrese Haliburton struggled badly, only managing eight points from two-of-seven shooting. As a unit, Indiana’s starters combined for just 37 points, marking the second-lowest combined score for any team in this postseason.

With excitement building, all eyes are on Game 6 where the Knicks will aim to flip the script and send the series to a decisive Game 7. Don't miss the action!
