INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle challenged his team to play more physically and more tenaciously Friday night.Pascal Siakam finished with 25 points and seven rebounds, Myles Turner added 17 points and eight rebounds, and the Pacers turned the tables on the New York Knicks with a 116-103 victory to even the Eastern Conference semifinals at 3-3.“I thought Game 5 was our least aggressive game in the playoffs,” Carlisle said. “We played hard tonight, which was a must.
Tyrese Haliburton and Andrew Nembhard each scored 15 points, with Nembhard pulling down six rebounds and dishing out six assists. Haliburton had nine assists as Indiana kept its perfect post-season home record intact at 6-0, in front of a raucous sellout crowd that helped re-energize the Pacers during key moments.
Deuce McBride added 20 points and Donte DiVincenzo had 17, but the short-handed Knicks may have suffered yet another blow when Josh Hart left in the fourth quarter with what the Knicks called abdominal soreness.The good news for the Knicks is they don't have to return to Indiana, where they've lost nine straight playoff games.
The Knicks never really recovered, losing for the third time in four games and leaving them one win away from reaching their first conference final since 2000. Indiana hasn't played in the conference finals since 2014.
