Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers look to stay alive in Game 6 against the New York Knicks today.
The New York Knicks (3-2) are on the brink of making the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since Jeff Van Gundy, Patrick Ewing, Allen Houston and company in 2000. This team, led by Tom Thibodeau, Jalen Brunson and the rest of the Villanova Knicks have brought life back to Madison Square Garden resembling those New York teams of the past. The Indiana Pacers (2-3) look to force a Game 7 today against a very shorthanded New York team at home, where they are 5-0 in the playoffs this season. Tyrese Haliburton looks to bounce back after another disappointing game in Game 5.

This postseason Haliburton is averaging 15.6 points and 7.2 assists per game on 51-45-87 shooting splits. The majority of his points, free-throws and positive shooting came in a disappointing Indiana loss in Game 2 after giving up a 10-point lead.
The bright spot for Indiana heading into Game 6 today is the teams play at home in the postseason. In five home games in the playoffs Indiana is averaging 119.8 points per game and have scored at least 120-plus points in four of the five while allowing just 104.8 points per game to opponents.
New York will look to give Indiana its first home loss of the playoffs behind the elite scoring and play of Brunson. He is averaging 32.0 points per game this series with two games of 43-plus points to put New York one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals.
