New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers head-to-head record
The Pacers and the Knicks' next game is expected to be another fiercely contested, high-scoring contest based on their previous five head-to-head meetings. Three of the last five encounters have been won by Indiana, including a 130-121 triumph on May 28 that highlighted their offensive potency under Tyrese Haliburton. The Pacers, who depend on their quick attack and effective shooting, have routinely scored more than 110 points in each of their victories. The Knicks, however, have demonstrated their ability to bounce back with a commanding 128-115 showing in February and a 106-100 victory on May 26. New York has an opportunity to prolong the series if it can control the pace and tighten up defensively against Jalen Brunson, who is still a consistent threat. However, the Pacers may have the advantage as they try to win the series because of Indiana's recent momentum and advantage in three of the previous five games.
