The Eastern Conference Semifinals come down to a winner-take-all match between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden.
All the dreary seasons, all the failed trades, all the snubs, and, of course, all the injuries have led to this for the New York Knicks.
The Knicks' first visit to the Eastern Conference Finals will require just a little more effort, as the team will engage in its first Game 7 since 2000. They'll also hope to wet their conferenc final drought as well but the equally bereft Indiana Pacers stand in their way at Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon.
This marks the Knicks' first Game 7 showing in 24 years, a win over the Miami Heat in the conference semifinals that ironically set up a bout with the Pacers. True to form, the Knicks are dealing with medical woes entering this game, especially after Friday's defeat in Game 6 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse: Josh Hart was forced to leave the game due to abdominal soreness that rendered him questionable for the conclusion.
Sunday marks the second Game 7 between the Pacers and Knicks, as they split such a pair in 1994-95. The winner of Sunday's game has a best-of-seven date with the Boston Celtics beginning on Tuesday night.Where:NYK -3.5 May 12, 2024; Indianapolis, Indiana, USA; New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson shoots the ball / Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY SportsThis is why the Knicks signed Brunson. Hobbled as he may be ... even if he insists he is healthy ... Brunson is well-used to leading a shorthanded team at this point in time and he has done so on several occasions. His efforts, in fact, might well be why the Knicks had the breathing room and margin for error that kept this series alive.
