The New York Knicks are on the brink of reaching the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2000 after a dominant 121-91 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of their playoff series. Jalen Brunson led the charge with a stellar performance, scoring 44 points and showcasing his scoring prowess once again.
Brunson, who has now scored 40 or more points five times in this postseason, bounced back from a subpar Game 4 to deliver a standout performance that put the Knicks in a commanding position in the series. His offensive outburst was complemented by strong contributions from Josh Hart and Deuce McBride, who added 18 and 17 points, respectively.
