For the optimist fan who isn’t ready to throw in the towel. Well, this is it. The Knicks have been pushed to the brink. For the first time this season, and just the fifth time in the last 12 years, the Knicks are going to play an elimination game on Thursday. In a painful series that has included an all-time choke and two frustrating close losses, the Knicks officially have no margin for...

For the Knicks to make Game 6? Well, here we are. One more loss away until elimination. Coming into this series, I really didn’t think the Knicks were going to lose to the Pacers two years in a row. Especially with the momentum they carried into Game 1 after the Boston series win, I really thought this was it. They took care of Boston, Indiana took care of Cleveland, and it just felt like...

Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images Time to nut up or shut up Years ago I was walking to a friend’s apartment late at night, less than a minute away, when I got jumped. I had headphones on, blaring; next thing I knew someone was choking me from behind. I tried pulling away; no luck, he was bigger than me, stronger. Tried telling him I had no money (pocket change; less than a dollar). He...

Win three, and you’re in. I guess. The Knicks lost 130-121 to the Pacers in a pivotal Game 4 on the road. New York will host Game 5, hopefully Game 7, and most probably not Game 1 of any series until next April—at the earliest. Here’s what Coach Thibs and a bunch of other people said before and after Tuesday’s catastrophic outing. "We hurt ourselves with our turnovers, putting them in...

We knew it was coming sometime. In Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals, Indiana’s Aaron Nesmith stole the show. Game Two was Pascal Siakam’s turn. We figured Tyrese Haliburton would have a breakout game eventually—and so he did tonight in Game Four, when his Pacers beat the New York Knicks 130-121 at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Haliburton’s final stat-line: 32 points, 15 assists, a...

The comeback kids are back in Indy, looking to tie up the ECF. The New York Knicks punched back on Sunday, erasing a 20-point hole to steal Game Three against the Indiana Pacers, 106-100. Karl-Anthony Towns’ bananas fourth-quarters trimmed the Easter Conference Finals to 2-1, keeping New York’s Finals dream very much alive while quieting a stadium full of yellow t-shirts. Game Three...

New York can even the ECF series with another win in Indy. The Knicks smelled blood. New York took advantage and made the ECF a real series. It’s just one more game in Indy before everybody and their father return to the Garden for Game 5 on Thursday. Here’s what Coach Thibs and a few other folks have said leading up to Game 4 on Tuesday. Jalen Brunson was asked what it would mean...

Knicks did what they needed to. Pacers didn’t. There are two sides to every story. There are two sides to every coin. And there are two sides to every basketball game. A lot has rightfully been made of what the Knicks did Sunday. They finally changed their starting lineup; they went into their bench more and used Landry Shamet and Delon Wright, staggered Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony...

The Knicks are alive. How much longer is up to them. Down 2-0 after two deflating losses in the World’s Most Famous Arena, the Knicks played even early before flatlining in the second quarter. Nine minutes in, the Pacers had exploded for a 29-9 run to take a 20-point lead just before halftime. The Knicks chipped away. The lead was down to 13 at halftime, they rallied from a 16-point third...
