New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers head-to-head record
The Indiana Pacers have a 3-2 lead against the New York Knicks based on their previous five head-to-head meetings; recent games have been high-scoring battles with fluctuating momentum. The Pacers have reached 130 points in three of their five encounters, and their most recent victory, 138–135 on May 22, 2025, demonstrated their potent offense. The Knicks have had several decisive victories of their own, especially a 123-98 thumping in October 2024, but they have had trouble holding Indiana's offensive potency consistently. The Pacers are ahead going into Game 2 due to their ability to score points quickly and their effective shooting, but the Knicks, who are led by Josh Hart's grit and Jalen Brunson's scoring, are still a formidable opponent who can win if the defense tightens up. Anticipate another fast-paced, high-scoring contest where the winner will depend on which team can perform better under pressure.
