## Indiana Roars Back, Forces Game 7 Thriller Against New York The Indiana Pacers staved off elimination on Friday night, defeating the New York Knicks 112-106 in a nail-biting Game 6 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The victory evens the Eastern Conference Semifinals at 3-3, setting the stage for a winner-take-all showdown in New York on Sunday. Fueled by a raucous home crowd, the Pacers rode a balanced scoring attack and a stifling defense to overcome a determined Knicks squad. Tyrese Haliburton, often subdued on the road, exploded for 28 points and 10 assists, dictating the tempo for Indiana. Pascal Siakam added a double-double with 22 points and 12 rebounds, anchoring the paint with his relentless hustle. The Knicks, seeking their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since 2000, got another stellar performance from Jalen Brunson. The Villanova product poured in 37 points, willing his team to stay in the contest despite a lack of consistent support. RJ Barrett chipped in with 20 points, but the rest of the Knicks' offense sputtered, failing to find a rhythm against the Pacers' physical defense. The game remained a tight affair throughout, with neither team leading by more than 10 points. Indiana used a strong third quarter to build a lead, but New York clawed its way back in the fourth, fueled by Brunson's heroics. However, clutch free throws down the stretch by Haliburton and Siakam sealed the win for the Pacers. "We knew we had to protect our home court," said Haliburton after the game. "The crowd was incredible, and their energy lifted us all night. We still have a tough task ahead in New York, but we're confident in our group." The Knicks, despite the setback, remain optimistic. "It's a seven-game series for a reason," declared Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau. "We'll regroup, make adjustments, and be ready to battle on our home floor." With the stakes at an all-time high, Game 7 promises to be an instant classic. The Pacers will look to continue their dominance at home throughout the playoffs, while the Knicks aim to harness the energy of Madison Square Garden to finally break through to the Conference Finals. Buckle up, basketball fans – this one is going down to the wire.
