The New York Knicks face a critical Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, trailing 3-1 in the series. Indiana aims for a quick series closure, having won four straight elimination games, while the Knicks struggle under coach Tom Thibodeau when facing elimination. Tyrese Haliburton delivered a stunning performance in Game 4, recording a historic triple-double. If the Pacers win, they will set a record for the fewest losses in a playoff series for a 4-seed since 1984.
With a win on Thursday, the Pacers would be the lowest-seeded team (4-seed) to lose one game or fewer in each series en route to the NBA Finals since the playoffs expanded to 16 teams in 1984.
Tyrese Haliburton led the way with a historic stat line. He had 32 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds and zero turnovers, becoming the third different player in NBA history with 30 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds in a playoff game.
