The Pacers advance to the NBA Finals after defeating the Knicks, with Siakam leading the charge.

The Indiana Pacers have made history, advancing to the NBA Finals for the first time in 25 years after a commanding 125-108 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Led by the dazzling performance of Pascal Siakam, who poured in 31 points, the Pacers showcased their offensive prowess and defensive tenacity.

Tyrese Haliburton complemented Siakam`s brilliance with a stellar stat line of 21 points and 13 assists, orchestrating the Pacers` dynamic offense. Meanwhile, Andrew Nembhard emerged as a defensive stalwart, racking up six steals and effectively neutralizing Jalen Brunson`s impact on the game. The Pacers capitalized on the Knicks` 17 turnovers, outscoring them 34-13 in points off turnovers and dominating the fast break with a staggering 41-10 advantage in transition points.

As the Pacers prepare for their showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder, led by NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, anticipation builds for the Finals, set to begin on June 5, 2025. The Thunder secured their Finals berth with a decisive 4-1 series win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, setting the stage for an electrifying championship clash.
