The NBA Playoffs are nearing their finale with just three teams left. In the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder sent the Timberwolves packing in five games. Tonight, the No. 4 Indiana Pacers are poised to give the No. 3 New York Knicks the same treatment in Game Five of the Eastern Conference Final. Neither team has made the Final in more than 20 years.
At a Glance: How to Watch Knicks vs. Pacers Games
The series started with two wins for the Pacers at Madison Square Garden, but the Knicks managed to rally for a crucial Game Three win in Indiana. Game Four went to the Pacers, 130-121. But there’s still hope for the Knicks: Every game this series has been decided by nine points or fewer.
