The Indiana Pacers have forced a Game 7 in their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the New York Knicks with a decisive 116-103 victory in Game 6. Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Myles Turner contributed 17 points and 8 rebounds. Tyrese Haliburton also added 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 9 assists. The Pacers, now 6-0 at home this postseason, extended their season with this win. The Knicks struggled, with Jalen Brunson scoring only 8 points on 3-of-14 shooting. Additionally, Josh Hart left the game due to abdominal soreness, and his status for Game 7 remains uncertain. Haliburton noted, "Us being down 3-2 the pressure was on us... we had to come out and play harder for 48 minutes." The series will conclude at Madison Square Garden on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET, marking the first Game 7 at the venue since 1995.
