But as the scene now shifts back over to Indiana, the challenge for the Knicks becomes even tougher. The Pacers have been one of the better teams at home this season, and they should be fired up for this contest.
Entering the game, Indiana did have one player listed on the injury report. Center Tony Bradley was listed as questionable due to a left hip flexor issue.

For the Knicks, the injury report was completely clean. This gives New York a chance to keep this series alive, which would set up an epic Game 7 showdown in Madison Square Garden.
The two teams played a seven-game series last year in the semi-finals, with Indiana winning on the Knicks’ home floor. The Pacers will look to avoid even putting themselves in the same situation this time around.
With both sides being relatively healthy for the game, it could create a very competitive environment on the floor. Indiana will be looking to clinch a spot in the NBA Finals once again and will have its home fans behind it this time.
Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton struggled in Game 5, only putting up eight points in the loss. But the star point guard vowed to be better in Game 6 as he tries to help his team eliminate New York.

The Pacers fans should be rowdy throughout the game, putting some extra pressure on the Knicks. New York will need to figure out how to deal with silencing the crowd early on, to avoid allowing them to be a factor in the contest.
But the Knicks have shown that they can win in Indiana, as they took Game 3 in dramatic fashion. Both sides will be looking to make a statement, but only one team can come away with the win.
Game 6 between the Knicks and Pacers is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday night from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
