The New York Knicks are one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals. Despite getting annihilated in Game 4 by the Indiana Pacers and looking like the team was completely out of gas, New York found a second wind as the series returned to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night for Game 5. Behind the latest monster playoff performance from Jalen Brunson, the Knicks were able to pick up a 121-91 win to take a 3-2 series lead.
The very early part of Game 5 looked like it had the potential to go similarly to Game 4, as the Pacers looked like the more crisp and more in sync team as their lead got up to as many as seven points in the opening five minutes. And then, the Knicks caught fire, going on a 15-3 run to get the Garden into the game and put a much-needed pep in their step.
