Dustin Dopirak, IndyStar: Pacers 119-110<\/p>\n

“The Pacers know they’re going to be dealing with a desperate team elevated by a raucous home crowd at Madison Square Garden, and they know the Knicks still have All-NBA players in Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. So they’re fully aware they’re not in any position to exhale. But they are in control of this series and they fixed what ailed them in Game 3 \u2014 when they allowed the game to slow to the Knicks’ pace. They’re aware they must keep running and they should be able to do that, even in the Garden. The Knicks are certain to have a push left in them, but if the Pacers can withstand early punches, that should be enough for them to outlast New York and advance to the NBA Finals.”<\/p>\n
