Pacemakers Outshoot Knicks from Beyond the Arc, Secure Series Victory

In a nail-biting Game 7 that kept fans on the edge of their seats, the Indiana Pacers emerged victorious over the New York Knicks, 97-95. The series, marked by unpredictable swings and gripping intensity, ended with Indiana claiming the hard-fought win.

The Pacers seized control of the game with their superior long-range shooting. They connected on 14 of their 31 three-point attempts, while the Knicks struggled from beyond the arc, making only 7 of their 37 attempts. This discrepancy in shooting efficiency proved pivotal, as the Pacers were able to generate more scoring opportunities and build a lead that the Knicks ultimately could not overcome.

This Game 7 marked a historic chapter in the Knicks-Pacers rivalry, the third time the two teams have faced off in a Game 7. In 1994, the Knicks emerged victorious in the Eastern Conference Finals, while the Pacers captured a narrow 97-95 victory in their next Game 7 meeting. The latest installment of this classic rivalry lived up to the hype, delivering an intense, unforgettable contest that has cemented its place in NBA lore.
