“This was the script” – Fans go wild as Pacers force Game 7 against Knicks at historic Madison Square Garden

Fans go wild as Indiana Pacers force Game 7 at the historic Madison Square Garden of their playoff series against New York Knicks

The Indiana Pacers welcomed the New York Knicks today with one motive. Extend the series by winning the do-or-die Game 6 of the playoffs. They did just that, running the Knicks into the ground and sending the series to a Game 7 at the famed Madison Square Garden.

The New York Knicks, on the other hand, wanted to finish the task and move to the next round. At least that was their intention in the first quarter when they finished ahead of the Indiana Pacers. Then, the Pacers, a young team led by Tyrese Haliburton that plays true to their name, staged a rally to give them a substantial lead at the half.

In later quarters, it was just a matter of playing with the right energy to keep the Knicks at bay. Jalen Brunson and his teammates looked on in the closing minutes as the Pacers won the game, pushing it to a win-or-go-home Game 7.
