The Indiana Pacers look to steal Game 1 on the road in their Eastern Conference Final matchup against the New York Knicks.
The Pacers have had an impressive postseason so far, taking down some of the biggest names in the game. In Round 1, Indiana defeated the Milwaukee Bucks four games to one, earning two blowout wins and putting up high offensive numbers in most of the games. In Round 2, Indiana took down the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers, also four games to one. The Pacers won the first two games on the road, suffered a blowout loss in Game 3, responded with a dominant win in Game 4, and then closed the series with a defensive road victory in Game 5. Their high-powered offense and field goal efficiency have remained consistent throughout.
The Knicks have also had an impressive postseason run. In Round 1, they beat a defensive-minded Detroit Pistons team four games to two. Four games in that series were decided by three points or fewer, and New York won three of those, each of them on the road. In Round 2, the Knicks eliminated the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics in six games. Once again, New York secured the first two wins of the series on the road, stumbled in two of the next three games with blowout losses, but finished the job at home with their most dominant win of the playoffs.
