The Pacers’ shooting prowess was nothing short of spectacular, with a jaw-dropping 67.1% field goal rate, setting a new playoff record. And just when the Knicks thought it couldn’t get any worse, star guard Jalen Brunson suffered a broken hand, adding insult to injury.
But amidst the chaos, Pacers’ All-Star Tyrese Haliburton emerged as the hero of the hour, raining down 3-pointers and rallying his team with infectious confidence. His mantra? “Unload the clip, have no regrets.”
For the Knicks, the return of OG Anunoby from injury initially sparked hope, but it quickly fizzled out as he struggled to keep pace. His early exit from the game only added to the Knicks’ woes, leaving fans reminiscing about Willis Reed’s heroic moment.
Despite a valiant effort from players like DiVincenzo and Burks, the Knicks couldn’t overcome the Pacers’ relentless onslaught. And while injuries may have plagued both sides, the Pacers refused to make excuses, marching forward with unwavering determination.
So, as the dust settles on this epic showdown, one thing is clear: the Pacers may have been the uninvited guests, but they left the Garden with a victory that will be talked about for years to come.

Hey there hoops fans! The big news is brewing in the Knicks camp! Anunoby’s status has been upgraded to ‘questionable’ for Sunday’s game, sources spilled the beans. Seems like he’s been putting in hard yards in rehab and is itching to get back on the court and swish some baskets for his team.

Check out his stats – averaging 16.4 points, and 6.8 rebounds, with a sprinkle of blocks and steals in the playoffs. Knicks are practically unbeatable when he’s in the mix, boasting a stellar 26-5 record with him on the hardwood.
But wait, there’s more drama! Hart’s also been teetering on the ‘questionable’ edge. Despite battling through an abdominal strain, he’s adamant about suiting up and giving it his all. Now, that’s what you call dedication, folks!
Poor Hart, every move he makes feels like a dance with pain – even something as innocent as a cough sends shockwaves through him. Unlike your run-of-the-mill ice-and-stim treatment for bruises, abdominal strains are a different ball game altogether.
Despite the discomfort, Hart’s been putting up some serious numbers – leading the charge with 14.9 points, gobbling up rebounds like they’re going out of style, and dishing out assists left, right, and center. Talk about carrying the team on his back!
