The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers have taken this series as far as it can go. The game went back and forth unpredictably, with the Pacers mostly playing spoiler. The Knicks took a 2-0 lead, but then the Pacers evened the series, including crushing the Knicks by more than 30 points in Game 4. The Knicks, in turn, blanked the Pacers by 30 in Game 5, but then lost by 13 points in Game 6.
This brings us to game seven. If the Pacers win, it will be their first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals since 2013-14. A 10-year drought is pretty bad, but nowhere near as bad as the Knicks. They haven’t reached the conference finals since 1999-2000.
Which team will end their drought today? We’ll know in just four quarters. Follow along here for all the action from Game 7.
