Knicks-Pacers: 5 takeaways as Jalen Brunson carries Knicks to 3-2 lead.
NEW YORK — The New York Knicks are one win from their first trip to the
conference finals in 24 years.
Two days after their worst effort of the playoffs, the Knicks had their best, a 121-91 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Tuesday. It was the first of their seven playoff wins that wasn’t within three points in the last five minutes.
Jalen Brunson had his legs, Isaiah Hartenstein grabbed nearly every rebound and the Knicks’ defense was as sharp as it’s been in the postseason.
Here are some notes, quotes, numbers and film as the Knicks handed the Pacers their second-worst margin of defeat this season.
