Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks head-to-head record
Game 6 between the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks appears to be a high-stakes struggle, as the Pacers lead the series 3-2. Due to their powerful offense, Indiana has won three of the previous five meetings, including two high-scoring shootouts (138-135 on May 22 and 130-121 on May 28). With a decisive 111-94 victory in Game 5, New York, however, showed tenacity by strengthening their defense and reducing Indiana's pace. Additionally, the Knicks won Game 3 by a slim margin (106-100), demonstrating their ability to win close games. Indiana may win the series at home if its offensive leaders, Siakam and Haliburton, can get back to their previous level of effectiveness and speed. However, if Brunson continues to perform well and the Knicks' defense holds strong, as it did in Game 5, a Game 7 may be unavoidable.
