The Knicks were battered, bruised and embarrassed the last couple of games in Indiana as they lost both matchups and went back to New York tied with the Pacers at two games apiece.
So, in game five, Jalen Brunson made sure the Knicks were going to come away with the win as he scored 44 points with seven assists in a 121-91 victory: This was Jalen’s fifth 40-point performance in the playoffs this year. Alec Burks had 18 for the Knicks while Siakam had 22 points for the Pacers. Game six will be Friday night in Indiana and game seven, if needed, on Sunday night.
