Knicks and Pacers Clash in Eastern Conference Finals Game 4

INDIANAPOLIS, IN — The New York Knicks face off against the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals tonight, as the Knicks try to even the series at 2-2. The game is currently tight, with the Pacers leading 121-114 in the fourth quarter.
After a challenging playoff run, the Knicks are determined to bounce back. They recovered from a previous loss but have found themselves in a nail-biter tonight in Indianapolis. As the clock winds down, both teams are battling intensely for every point.
“It’s obviously a storied rivalry between the two franchises, so to add another chapter to it is going to be a lot of fun,” said Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton. Last year, Indiana eliminated New York in a dramatic Game 7.
The game has featured fierce competition, with players like Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner making key plays. A couple of important offensive rebounds have helped the Pacers maintain their lead as they approach the final minutes of game time.
With just under three minutes left, Knicks coach Rick Carlisle called a crucial timeout to readjust strategy. The Knicks are struggling with their late-game execution, but they have managed a few impressive plays to stay in the game.
In a dramatic turn, Mikal Bridges of New York landed a critical three-pointer, narrowing the Pacers’ lead to six points. This back-and-forth action has kept fans on the edge of their seats, as each team fights for every opportunity.
The Knicks previously showed their resilience by defeating the Boston Celtics in the semifinals, while the Pacers dominated the first two rounds, eliminating both Milwaukee and Cleveland in rapid succession. This series marks a significant moment for both teams, as it’s the first ECF appearance for the Knicks in 25 years.
As they battle under the spotlight, both teams feel the weight of their storied histories, along with the high stakes of the series. The Knicks need this victory to keep their hopes alive in a rough playoff landscape.
With just a few moments left on the clock, the tension rises. “We just have to stay calm and take it one possession at a time,” said Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns.
