Thanks, in part, to their best defensive performance of the postseason so far, the New York Knicks avoided elimination in Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers to force Game 6.
The Knicks’ defense held Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton to just eight points in the 111-94 Knicks victory on Thursday, and heading into today’s elimination game, repeating that is likely the key to keeping their season alive.
