The Eastern Conference’s No. 2 seed, the New York Knicks (50-32), will take on the sixth-seeded Indiana Pacers (47-35) in the 2024 Eastern Conference semifinals. The two franchises last met in the postseason in 2013, when the Pacers eliminated the Knicks in a six-game series perhaps best known for a towering block that now lives in places of prominence in Roy Hibbert’s abode.
A couple of decades before that, New York and Indiana used to meet in the playoffs all the time.
