After waiting 159 days for a rematch, the New York Knicks (0-1) will finally get their chance to right a wrong when they host Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers (1-0) in their first home game of the season tonight.
On May 19, 2024, the 6th-seeded Pacers upset the 2nd-seeded Knicks in the final game of the seven-game Eastern Conference Semifinals and advanced to the Conference Finals (they lost). All-Star point guard Haliburton led the Pacers, while Jalen Brunson made Knicks history with over 300 points and 70 assists in the playoffs. The high-scoring Hoosiers might have been swept out of Gotham if our heroes weren’t reduced to five-and-a-half players and an empty box of Band-Aids.
