For the second straight year, the Knicks and Pacers will meet in the playoffs, this time in the Eastern Conference Finals after the Pacers defeated the Knicks in seven games in last season’s East semifinals. New York has a different look and feel to the ‘25 team after trading away Julius Randle and adding versatile center Karl-Anthony Towns to a nucleus that includes guards Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart and forwards OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges. That group won with star power, grit and depth in a semifinal series win over the Boston Celtics, with Brunson leading the way averaging 26.2 points and 7.2 assists in the series.

The Pacers have also taken a huge step forward with a roster built on balance that has shown up in the postseason with six players averaging double figures in the playoffs. Point guard Tyrese Haliburton remains Indiana’s best players and now has postseason heroics to his credit with big shots to help the Pacers win series over the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks, both in five games.
