One defensive stat that showed the Pacers exploit Knicks star Jalen Brunson in the first four games flipped on its head in Game 5.

In Thursday's Game 5, New York became the first team in the postseason to hold the Pacers to fewer than 100 points.

While defense wins championships, Indiana's offense has been the driving force behind its 3-1 lead over New York in the East Finals.

The Knicks won on their home floor for the first time in the series and prevented the Pacers from earning the second NBA Finals trip in franchise history.

Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers blew their first chance at closing out the New York Knicks on Thursday night. From start to finish, the Knicks made it clear that they were not going to be beaten at Madison Square Garden, winning the game by a final score of 111-94.

Considering Priestess Aurora's most powerful, same-day custom spell only costs $8.47, and a seat at Madison Square Garden costs considerably more, it seems dollar-for-dollar there may not have been a more important purchase for Knicks fans Thursday night.

The Knicks know what’s on the line going into Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. But so do the Indiana Pacers.
