Pacers Seek Redemption at Home to Close Out Knicks and Reach NBA Finals
Man, this series between the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks has been an absolute rollercoaster, and now it’s all coming down to tonight. The Pacers are back home in Indianapolis, staring at their second chance to punch a ticket to the NBA Finals — something they haven’t done in 25 years. Just think about that. A whole generation has gone by since Indiana last made it this far. Tonight’s Game 6 is huge, and the energy at Gainbridge Fieldhouse is going to be electric.
After dropping Game 5 at Madison Square Garden 111-94, the Pacers are still in control of the series at 3-2. They know what's at stake. This isn’t just another game — this is a shot at history. And what makes it even more emotional is that this could be the final NBA playoff game broadcast on TNT. The network won’t be carrying games next season, so a Pacers win could mark the end of an era in more ways than one.

Tyrese Haliburton is the heart and soul of this Pacers team. At home, he’s been nearly unstoppable in the postseason, going 11-2 all-time. Just last week, he dropped a ridiculous triple-double: 32 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds, four steals, and not a single turnover. That stat line is historic — nobody’s done that in a playoff game since the league started tracking turnovers in the late '70s. And he did it all in front of his dad, who just had his courtside ban lifted. Talk about a storybook moment.
On the other side, you’ve got a Knicks team that just won’t quit. They lost the first two games at home, looked like they were on the ropes, but have battled back hard. Mitchell Robinson entering the starting lineup changed their whole dynamic. Karl-Anthony Towns has turned it up, averaging 24 and 13 over the last three games, and Jalen Brunson — man, that guy’s been on a mission, putting up nearly 29 points a night and going over 30 in the last two.
But tonight, the pressure shifts. The Knicks are fighting to survive, while the Pacers are fighting to finish. If New York pulls it off, it’s back to the Garden for Game 7. But if Indiana shows the resilience and fire they’ve had all season — especially behind Haliburton’s brilliance — we could see the Pacers heading to face Oklahoma City in the NBA Finals.
So here we are, tip-off at 8 p.m. Eastern. Everything on the line. Whether you bleed blue and gold or root for the orange and blue, one thing's for sure — this is playoff basketball at its finest.
