Indiana Dominates First Half, Cruises to Victory
The New York Knicks' playoff dreams came to an end in heartbreaking fashion on Sunday night as the Indiana Pacers crushed them 117-102 in a deflating Game 7. The Pacers rode a blistering first half to victory, outscoring the Knicks 67-42 and setting the tone for the rest of the contest.
Tyrese Haliburton led the way for Indiana with 26 points, while Jalen Brunson paced the Knicks with 25. However, Brunson's efforts were not enough to overcome the Pacers' dominance, as they shot 54.7% from the field and held the Knicks to just 41.2%.
The home-court advantage proved to be no help for the Knicks, who now hold a dismal 112-38 record in Game 7s. The last time they hosted a Game 7, they also lost to the Pacers in 1995. Despite a 30-point victory in Game 5, the Knicks faltered in Game 6 and ultimately came up short in Game 7.
With the win, the Pacers advance to the second round, where they will face the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks. The Knicks, meanwhile, will have to wait until next season to try and make another run at the championship.
