Pacers' Win Forces Game 7
Pacers Protect Home Court in Game 6
The Indiana Pacers forced a decisive Game 7 in their first-round playoff series against the New York Knicks with a 112-100 victory in Game 6 on Friday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Myles Turner led the way for the Pacers with 29 points, while Tyrese Haliburton added 24 points and 10 assists.
Pacers' Defense Shines in Game 6
The Pacers' defense was the story of the game, as they held the Knicks to just 39.8% shooting from the field and forced 16 turnovers. Turner was a force in the paint, blocking four shots and altering many others. Haliburton also played a key role on defense, with three steals and two blocks.
Pacers Set Up Game 7 in New York
With the win, the Pacers have set up a winner-take-all Game 7 in New York on Sunday night. The Knicks will be looking to close out the series at home, while the Pacers will be hoping to force a Game 8 back in Indianapolis.
The Pacers will need to continue their strong defensive play in Game 7 in order to pull off the upset. They will also need to get more production from their bench, which was outscored by the Knicks' bench 24-11 in Game 6.
If the Pacers can play with the same intensity and focus that they showed in Game 6, they have a good chance of winning Game 7 and advancing to the second round of the playoffs.
