2:16am, 2 June 2025Basketball
On June 1, the sixth game between the Pacers and the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals officially started. At the beginning of the game, Brunson scored two breakthroughs at the basket to help the Knicks take the lead. The Pacers hit consecutive three-pointers outside the three-point line to respond. The two sides led alternately, but the two teams made frequent mistakes. The referee allowed a lot of physical contact, and the offense and defense pace was very fast. The Pacers overtook again at the end of the quarter. The Pacers led the Knicks by 1 point 25-24 at the end of the first quarter. The Pacers continued their good shooting feel in the second quarter and gradually gained the initiative on the court. However, the Knicks played very tenaciously and did not further expand the score gap. With Brunson and Towns being strictly guarded, Bridges and Anunobi stood up. At the end of the quarter, Anunobi scored two points against the buzzer. At the end of the half, the Pacers led the Knicks by 4 points 58-54.
The Pacers started with a 9-0 scoring climax at the beginning, expanding their lead to double digits. Thibode immediately called a timeout, and after reappearing, the Knicks returned a 7-0 wave. Carlisle was very cautious and asked a timeout to be re-adjusted in time. The Pacers' role player Tobu became a surprise player, making two three-pointers in a single quarter, helping the Pacers continue to expand their lead. After the three quarters, the Pacers took 15 points to lead, and the final battle against the Pacers in the final quarter Walker fell to the ground and was injured. The Knicks scored a 6-0 wave to narrow the score difference. After that, the Pacers did not give another chance. Halliburton took over the game and scored 8 points in a row to help the Pacers gradually expand their lead. After Nembhard made a three-pointer, the Pacers led by 19 points. The suspense of the game ended. In the end, the Pacers defeated the Knicks 125-108 and entered the finals again after 25 years. This game played three incredible things, four indisputable facts!
The three incredible
1. The Pacers' three-point shooting percentage of the game was as high as 50%, and they made 15 three-pointers with 33 shots. It turns out that as long as the Pacers' three-point shooting can be opened, they will basically win the victory. The Pacers lost two games before, and the three-point shooting percentage was less than 30%. The three-point shooting percentage was super normal in this game, allowing the Pacers to achieve a refreshing victory.
2. The Pacers will have personal soldiers playing almost every game. In the first game, Nesmith, Thomas Bryant, in this game, was originally the team's second center, but was later replaced by Bradley. After Bradley was injured, Tob was activated again. He made three three-pointers in the game and scored 11 points, especially in the key third quarter, 8 points were scored on 3 of 4 shots, helping the team expand its lead.
3. Nembhard finally broke the curse and defended Brunson. Nembhard had always been Brunson's ATM and scope. Nembhard was troubled by a foul in this game. Nembhard Brunson was very effective at home. He made Brunson's mistakes many times and sent 6 steals throughout the game, which made Brunson extremely uncomfortable, and only scored 19 points in 8 of 18 shots.
Four indisputable facts
1. Siakam deserves his MVP in the East Finals Series. Although Halliburton is the core of this team and the soul of this team, Siakam's performance is obviously more stable. He averaged 24.8 points, 5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game in 6 games, shot a 52% shooting percentage and 50% three-point shooting percentage. He is an arrow player who charges the Pacers. He contributes 31 points and 5 rebounds in this game. Not only does he perform well on the offensive end, he also restricts Towns on the defensive end, and is well deserved to be elected as the MVP.
2. Hart turned into an undercover agent in this game, and he played side effects throughout the game. He couldn't touch the basket with a large open three-pointer, and only scored 4 points for 1 of 6 shots. The fast break at the end of the third quarter was outrageously passed and was abandoned at the end of the day.
3. Towns was already burned out. He scored 22 points and 14 rebounds in 8 of 19 shots in this game. He felt bad in three-pointers and kept hitting the basket on the court. He grabbed some frontcourt rebounds and scored a tip-in. He played very toughly, but his knee injury affected Towns' performance and free throws were also affected.
4. As a team, Brunson's core limit is insufficient. He contributed 19 points and 7 assists in this game and made 5 mistakes. Brunson is powerful and his style of play is very tough, but his height is too short and he is easily targeted. Brunson's shortcomings are destined to be unable to become the core of a team's championship. The Knicks have to think of other ways to compete for the championship.
