INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle challenged his team to play more physically and more tenaciously Friday night.
His desperate team responded with one of its most inspired performances all season.
Pascal Siakam finished with 25 points and seven rebounds, Myles Turner added 17 points and eight rebounds, and the Pacers turned the tables on the New York Knicks with a 116-103 victory to even the Eastern Conference semifinals at 3-3.
The decisive Game 7 will be played Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
"I thought Game 5 was our least aggressive game in the playoffs," Carlisle said.
