Follow live: Pacers in control vs. Knicks with NBA Finals in reach

The Indiana Pacers will have another shot to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals.

The Pacers return home to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals against the New York Knicks, whom they lead in the series 3-2.

Indiana is coming off a Game 5 111-94 loss to the Knicks, who forced Game 6 behind Jalen Brunson's dominant 32-point performance and Karl-Anthony Towns' 24 points and 13 rebounds.

Saturday could turn into a repeat of the 2000 Eastern Conference Finals, where the Pacers defeated the Knicks 93-80 in Game 6 to advance to the NBA Finals, where they faced the Los Angeles Lakers.

New York collected a win over Indiana in Game 3 -- the first game of the series in Indiana -- when the Knicks completed a 20-point comeback led by Towns' 24 points and 15 rebounds.

The Knicks will look to rely on big performances from their big men -- Towns and Mitchell Robinson -- and the star power of Brunson to stay alive.

Brunson has scored 189 points from drives, the third-most points scored from drives in a single postseason, according to ESPN Research.

Will Indiana advance to face the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Larry O'Brien Trophy, or can New York force a Game 7? Follow along with live updates, highlights and best moments.
