For the second time in two seasons, the Indiana Pacers are a game away from making the Conference Finals. Last year, they beat the New York Knicks in the Conference Semifinals, and this season, the Knicks look poised to meet Indiana to compete for the East.
The Pacers last made the NBA Finals in 2000, and the Knicks last appeared in 1999. However, before they can boast a Conference Finals berth, the Knicks have to beat the Boston Celtics one last time, and the Pacers have to dispatch the Cleveland Cavaliers.
