In the ending Eastern Conference Finals G5, the Knicks defeated the Pacers 111-94 at home, tied the score to 2-3, retaining the final suspense of this round of series. This is not friendly to the Pacers, the Pacers, the largest dark horse in the East this season. If the next G6 returns to home and cannot end the game, it will be dragged into the tiebreak by the Knicks, which will make the Pacers very passive. After the game started, the Knicks, who returned to the home court, played very strongly, especially the core Brunson, who felt hot, used high-level covers to continuously break through the inside and scored three-pointers at will, and scored 14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, leading the team to a 4-point lead into the second quarter. In the second quarter, the Pacers started a counterattack, and the score difference was narrowed to 2 points at one point, but then Towns turned into an inside monster and completely defeated the inside double towers of Turner and Siakam on both ends of the offense and defense. He efficiently scored 12 points and 7 rebounds in a single quarter, helping the team lead the Pacers 56-45 at halftime by 11 points.

In the second half, Brunson continued his hot touch, scored 8 points in a row from inside and outside shots, and as Hart continued to grab rebounds and got a second offense after he came on the court, Brunson scored 16 points for 5 of 6 shots in a single quarter, and the Knicks once widened the gap to 20 points. With Shepard's three-pointer at the top of the arc, the Knicks led the Pacers 90-73 after the three quarters. Entering the final quarter, the Pacers scored an 8-0 offensive climax under the leadership of Matherine's energy on both offense and defense, narrowing the gap to 12 points to stop the Knicks. After returning from the timeout, Hart scored twice in a row at a free cut, and Brunson also made a jump shot, giving the opponent a 8-0 wave to stabilize the situation. In the end, the Knicks defeated the Pacers 111-94 at home, and tied the score to 2-3.

The Knicks' core player Brunson made 12 of 18 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, efficiently scoring 32 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Once again, it demonstrates its influence as a key gentleman in the game. Towns made 10 of 20 shots and 1 of 4 of three-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws, scored 24 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, transformed into an inside behemoth, completely defeating the double tower combination of Siakam and Turner on both ends of the offense and defense. Hart, who came on the bench, was everywhere on the court and was even more outstanding in rebounding competition, scoring 12 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in the whole game.

The Pacers' core scored 32 points, 12 rebounds and 15 assists in the last game and took on the responsibility of organizational connections well on the offensive end, but lost themselves completely in this game. They made 2 of 7 shots, 0 of 2 of 3-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and only scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. They had no determination to dominate the game and became the biggest culprit in losing in this game. Siakam scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, and Matherine, who attended the bench, scored the team's highest 23 points and 9 rebounds. And there were as many as 20 mistakes in the whole game.

Knicks have tied the big score to 2-3, continuing to retain the final suspense of this round of series. The next G6 is crucial to both teams. The famous basketball commentator Su Qun said after the game: If the Knicks always play according to the concentration and defensive intensity of this game, both sides may enter the tiebreak battle!

West Finals With the Thunder 4-1 gentleman swept the Timberwolves out, Alexander finally won the well-deserved FMVP of the Western Conference Finals, and will wait for the final winner of the East. But for the Thunder, the opponent in the finals is the Pacers, so it will be very easy for the Thunder to advance to the championship, because the Pacers mainly focus on running and bombing and multi-player rotation, but the defensive end is very bad. On the contrary, the Knicks are solid and reliable on both ends of the offense and defense, and the team's lineup is relatively tall, and each position can match the Thunder, which will make it very uncomfortable to play!
