The Oklahoma City Thunder looked as dominant as ever after closing out the Timberwolves 4-1 in the Western Conference Finals, trip to NBA Finals awaits.
Sports Pulse
The Indiana Pacers have the opportunity to close out the New York Knicks, again — this time at home in Indianapolis.
The Pacers went up 3-1 over the Knicks on Tuesday — which is usually the kiss of death for opposing teams in the postseason, as teams with a 3-1 advantage in the NBA playoffs have a 284-13 record — but the Knicks forced a Game 6 after defeating the Pacers 111-94 in Game 5 in New York.
Can the Knicks do it again and force a decisive Game 7 at Madison Square Garden? New York will need another strong performance from its star-studded duo of Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, who are the first teammates to both score 20+ points in each of the first five games of the conference finals since Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal did so in 2002 for the Los Angeles Lakers. Â
Meanwhile, Pacers superstar Tyrese Haliburton is looking to bounce back from scoring only eight-points (2-for-7 FG, 0-for-2 3PT) in their Game 5 loss.
The Oklahoma City Thunder await the winner after defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves 4-1 in the Western Conference finals.
