For the second year in a row, the Indiana Pacers are headed to the Eastern Conference Finals.
However, they are planning to go beyond that and are ready to prove all their critics wrong.
According to New York Basketball, the Pacers have an incredible field goal percentage in these playoffs.
They have a percentage of 58.3, which is the best in all of NBA history.
Can the New York Knicks keep up with a team that is shooting this well?

The Knicks are no slouches and have earned a 51.0 field goal percentage during the postseason.
That means they will put up quite an offensive fight against the Pacers, but will it be enough?
The Knicks will have to get creative and aggressive when it comes to defense, and they will have to guard from inside the paint and at the perimeter because the Pacers clearly have a way of getting it done no matter where they are shooting from.
Even though Indiana has been to the Eastern Conference Finals two years in a row, a lot of people haven’t had faith in them.
The East has been crowded and competitive, and many analysts and fans didn’t predict them getting this far.
But the team only got better as the season went on, and now they are in a strong position, healthy and ready to take on the Knicks.
No matter what happens next, no one can ever discount this team again.
They have proven that they are a playoff force to be reckoned with, and they are scoring unlike any other team that has come before them.
