Pacers big man Myles Turner came up with a big rebound off Brunson's missed three. Turner then went to the line and sank two free throws to bring Indiana's lead up to five points with four seconds left, which put the game out of reach for the Knicks.

Pascal Siakam led the way for Indiana, putting together a 39-point performance on 15-for-23 from the floor and 3-for-5 from the three-point line. Myles Turner chipped in with 16 points, while Tyrese Haliburton scored 14 points to go along with 11 assists, eight rebounds, and two steals.

If you find yourself in a hole, you should probably stop digging. The New York Knicks are in the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2000. They won 51 games this season — the most any Knicks team has won since 2011-12.
