Intoxicating victory: New York keeps chance for the NBA final
The New York Knicks deliver a show against the Indiana Pacers in Madison Square Garden and postpone the decision to move into the NBA final. A star duo overrides.
The New York Knicks have been in the race for the first final in the NBA for 26 years. The team from the Big Apple made the Indiana Pacers 111: 94 in game five in the series and won the second victory in the playoff semi-final duel. In addition to the outstanding defense, the New York star duo from Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson was particularly important in success.
Use for German NBA newcomers
Brunson led all players on the parquet in the Madison Square Garden with 32 points, Towns headed for 24 points and 13 rebounds. Star playmaker Tyrese Haliburton, on the other hand, did not get on the train at all and had to be satisfied with lean eight dots. Because of the clear score, the German rookie Ariel Hukporti was allowed to sniff playoff air for a few seconds and ensured the final points of the kinks with a crashing dark.
Despite the victory of the kinks, the advantage remains with Indiana. The Pacers is sufficient to achieve the endgame series against the Oklahoma City Thunder with Isaiah Hartenstein. The Knicks want to prevent this again on Sunday night when it comes to Indianapolis for the sixth duel. A success there would force a decision -making game in the Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.
