Pacers extend series with their 11th straight home win, 116-103 over NYK. Haven’t lost at GFH in two months.
Siakam was great in the mid-range (25pts), McConnell (15) gave them a huge boost where they won the inside game: +12 on glass, 62-38 in paint.
Next: G7 Sun. 3:30pm, ABC – 11:05 PM

Pacers needed an outburst like this from Pascal Siakam. We’ve been waiting for it…
So smooth and comfortable in the mid-range, picking his spots — now up to game-high 25pts.
And showing you exactly why the Pacers traded for him. – 10:40 PM

Pacers try to deny Brunson, instead give up a layup in five seconds. Swapping the inbounder also took Siakam away from the rim. pic.twitter.com/AcxbXfAuOm – 10:01 PM

Pacers closed the half on a 17-5 run. DDV nailed a 3 to end a stretch of six straight misses.
IND trailed the NYK 37-35, and now lead 61-51 at the break.
Brunson is dragging, just 5pts on 2-for-13 shooting. Siakam (15) had success in the 2Q.
McBride leads Knicks with 15pts. – 9:42 PM

The downside of the Knicks’ lineup change was it put Hart on Siakam. Tonight, the Pacers are determined to exploit that matchup – 9:36 PM

Siakam is the guy the Knicks have no matchup for without Anunoby and/or Randle. Pacers tried to get him going in Game 5 and didn’t really get anywhere. But if they get this guy the rest of the series, huge advantage for them. – 9:35 PM

As many people predicted at the time, the one drawback to the Siakam trade is that it keeps the Pacers’ best player, Obi Toppin, off the court. – 9:12 PM

Hart comes out of the game after battling for a loose ball with Siakam — getting checked — something with his ribs or abdomen? – 8:54 PM
