The New York Knicks’ season hangs by a thread as they face the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indiana leads the series 3-1 over New York and has closed out its previous two series this postseason in five games. The Pacers have won four consecutive games in playoff series-clinching scenarios, the longest streak in franchise history. On the other hand, the Knicks have a 1-3 record under coach Tom Thibodeau when facing elimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the Pacers win on Thursday, they would be the lowest-seeded team (4) to lose one or fewer games in each series en route to the NBA Finals since the playoffs expanded to 16 teams in 1984.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Game 4, Indiana’s point guard, Tyrese Haliburton, led the way with a historic stat line. He had 32 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds, and zero turnovers, becoming the third player in NBA history with 30 points, 15 assists, and 10 rebounds in a playoff game, joining Oscar Robertson (2x) and Nikola Jokic. He was also the first player with 30 points, 15 assists, and zero turnovers in a playoff game since individual turnovers began being recorded in 1977-78.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
