The two best words in sports: Game Seven.
The Knicks and Pacers have brought back their 1990s rivalry in a grueling series that is going the distance. Indiana stepped up at home with their backs against the wall, coming away with a 116-103 win over New York in Game 6 .
Now the two teams will travel back to Madison Square Garden for a win-or-go-home showdown at The Mecca of Basketball.
The Knicks continue to battle through injuries. Josh Hart was the latest player to go down, suffering an abdominal injury Friday, though he is expected to play through the strain Sunday. The Pacers will have to break the trend and pick up the first road win of the series to keep their season alive.

5:47 p.m.: There’s still seven minutes to play, but the feeling is that this game is out of hand. Pacers lead 112-97, and Knicks are without just about everyone.

5:27 p.m.: That Knicks run early in the second half has completely died out. Hart picks up his fifth foul with 2:36 left in the third quarter. Indiana leads by 19.
5:23 p.m.: Yikes, Hartenstein turns the ball over and immediately fouls Nesmith to allow the And-1. That’s four fouls on Hartenstein.

4:35 p.m.: Hartenstein picks up his third foul of the day with just a few minutes left in the second quarter. Not good for the Knicks going forward. Precious Achiuwa will need to play big minutes.
4:33 p.m.: Right when the Knicks cut the lead to 14, the Pacers quickly answer and bring the lead back to 19.

3:58 p.m.: Challenge is successful, so there is no foul on Haliburton.
3:54 p.m.: Things are getting a bit chippy in the first quarter. DiVincenzo, Siakam and Hartenstein had some words for each other, which led to James Johnson and a few players leaving the bench. Indiana had called a timeout to challenge a call, so players were allowed to leave the bench.
3:52 p.m.: DiVincenzo with his third 3-pointer of the game. He’s scored nine of the team’s 16 points. Siakam has 11 of Indiana’s 21 on a perfect 5-of-5.

3:51 p.m.: Anunoby takes a seat on the bench. Gives the Knicks another healthy defender on the floor.
3:47 p.m.: Knicks are laboring as just about everyone seems to be banged up in their rotation. Anunoby is clearly not fully recovered as he’s got a hitch in his step. The Pacers lead 16-10 with 7:19 remaining in the first quarter.
3:45 p.m.: Pacers lead 9-7 through the first three minutes. Indiana hasn’t missed a field goal yet.
3:42 p.m.: Game is live, Knicks win the tip, and Brunson scores the game’s first bucket.
