    Jamesmurray, Knicks looked good, if they would,ve played like this from the start they could be ahead in this series, when KARL ANTHONY TOWNES, has big has he is I'd using his Size along with Mitch Robinson inside and Brunson staying out of Foul trouble they can beat The PACERS. The Knicks was scoring in the paint, Rebounding now I don,t know who will win ? 🤔, This series ain't over.

    Karl-Anthony Towns took the bruise from his left knee, and together with his New York Knicks teammates, planted it squarely on the Indiana Pacers’ foreheads, keeping the Eastern Conference finals alive for at least another game. Towns shook off a sore knee and “questionable” designation on the injury report to go for 24 points and 13 rebounds, Jalen Brunson turned in another monster game with 32 points and New York beat Indiana 111-94 Thursday at Madison Square Garden. The Pacers still lead the series, 3-2, with Game 6 at 8 p.m. ET Saturday in Indianapolis. Indiana’s stars struggled mightily in Game 5, with Tyrese Haliburton, the series MVP up until this point, managing just eight points on 2-of-7 shooting. A bench player, Bennedict Mathurin, was Indiana’s leading scorer with 23 points. The Knicks are trying to become the first team in history to lose the first two games of the conference finals at home and go on to win the series.

    “You just take it game-by-game, you’ve got to keep fighting every game, every possession,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said.

    The Pacers had won six consecutive road playoff games prior to Game 5. They can still close out this series and punch their first trip to the NBA Finals since 2000, and second in franchise history, by winning Game 6. “It’s never not the hardest game,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said about closeout games. His team closed out Milwaukee in the first round and Cleveland in the second with Game 5 triumphs.

    Pascal Siakam was the only Indiana starter to score in double-figures, finishing with 15 points on 5-of-13 shooting. The Pacers also lost reserve center Tony Bradley to a left hip strain. Towns, an All-NBA selection, was averaging 25.8 points and 11.4 rebounds and is shooting 45 percent from 3-point range in this series prior to Game 5, but has been targeted defensively because he struggles to guard in space, where the Pacers thrive.

    Indiana managed to ring up five fouls against Towns, but he played with much more force than his counterparts. He shot 10 of 20 from the field and added three assists. His baseline drive through Mathurin for a basket (he missed the free throw) with 2:44 left put the Knicks back up by 16, and the game was about over. This was, by far, the most lopsided game in what had been a very close series. Though Indiana won three out of the first four, the Pacers’ total margin in the conference finals was plus-11 heading into Game 5. Which means, of course, after losing by 17 Thursday, they have now been outscored in the series. The Knicks got one of the best games Brunson has played all playoffs at the best time. The Knicks star scored 32 points, with five rebounds and five assists, in a must-win game, and he was the difference in the first three quarters as New York built up its big lead. Brunson had been outplayed by Haliburton so far this series but he turned it around in Game 5. He hit 12 of 18 shots and was the run-stopper the Knicks needed. The Knicks got other strong performances — 24 and 13 from Towns — and three other guys were in double-digits, while the defense finally found a way to slow down the Pacers’ offense. But it was Brunson who loomed largest. Who knows if this will turn the series or not. A 3-1 deficit is hard to come back from, and this series now shifts back to Indianapolis for Game 6, though home-court advantage hasn’t mattered much so far. Knicks fans certainly weren’t lacking in confidence as they chanted “Knicks in seven” in the final moments of this game. If they are proven right, it will be Brunson who guides the Knicks there, just like he did Thursday night. — 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

    Romans 5:8 NIV

    [8] But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

    Jesus died for your sins and he loves you, turn from your sin and repent. To give your life to Christ confess to him your sins and confess and believe in your heart that he died for your sins and came back to life.
