The Indiana Pacers will try to take advantage of a second chance to eliminate the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals at home on Saturday night. Indiana is looking to make the second NBA Finals appearance in franchise history and the first in 25 years.

Charles Oakley hasn't been to MSG since 2017 when he was ejected after a confrontation with Knicks owner James Dolan. He takes exception to Patrick Ewing going to games.

“I was embarrassed, honestly. Not even the turnovers, but giving up back cuts, not communicating. I’m the guy who’s supposed to play with a high competitive nature, a high motor. Those were things I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror, let alone look at these guys.”

The Knicks' starting lineup change and use of additional depth has been particularly effective in slowing Andrew Nembhard and Myles Turner.

Their turnover problems remain an issue, something that could burn them Saturday night in a do-or-die Game 6. In the Eastern Conference finals-extending game, the Knicks started out well, committing just one turnover in the opening quarter. They had 14 over the final three quarters, leading to 20 Pacers points.
