On May 30, 2025, the New York Knicks in an exciting game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals to the Indiana Pacers with 111: 94 wrested an important victory. Jalen Brunson was the star of the game and scored 32 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 24 points and 13 rebounds. This strong performance was crucial for the Knicks to maintain an opportunity to move into the NBA finals in the series, which is currently 2: 3 in favor of the Pacers. However, the Knicks have to build on the performance in game 6, which will take place in Indianapolis on May 31, to force a possible decision -making game in the Madison Square Garden, the team should refuse to win the Pacers.

Haliburton, who shone in the previous game 4 with an impressive performance of 30 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists without gymnastics, could not be dangerous this time. This was the first time in the 2025 NBA Playoffs that the Pacers did not cross the 100-point mark, which should give the Knicks additional confidence for the upcoming duel.
