2:15am, 2 June 2025【Basketball】
On June 1, in the sixth game of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks fought a fierce competition with the Pacers in the away game. However, the Knicks finally lost 108-125 and regrettably bid farewell to the journey of this season with a total score of 2-4. After the game, the Knicks team members looked sad, like eggplant hit by frost, showing their loss and helplessness.

Looking back on the whole season, the Knicks' performance is undoubtedly impressive. During the regular season, they firmly sat in the third place in the East, with a group of stars such as Brunson and Towns, and their strength should not be underestimated. They passed the hurdles and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. This glory and achievement are undoubtedly well deserved.
However, in the first four matches of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks were in trouble, trailing by a total score of 1-3 and losing two home games in a row, which undoubtedly had a huge blow to the team's morale. However, in the desperate situation, the Knicks did not give up. In the crucial G5 battle, Brunson and Towns stepped up and scored gorgeous data of 32 points and 24 points and 13 rebounds respectively, helping the team successfully save a match point and allowing fans to see hope for a big reversal.
However, in the critical G6 battle, the Knicks faced a life-and-death test again. Can they show good offense and defense again on the away game, continue the good momentum of the previous game, and drag the game into the tiebreak? This is undoubtedly the focus of all fans.
Judging from the lineup of the two teams, both sides maintain relatively complete combat effectiveness. Especially for the Knicks, all players can play, which undoubtedly provides them with more possibilities. As the head coach, whether Thibodeau can lead the team to turn the tide again has become a big suspense in the hearts of fans. At the beginning of the game, the two teams fell into a stalemate. Although the Knicks were at a slight disadvantage, they were not too far apart by their opponents. After the first quarter, the Knicks were only one point behind. Entering the second quarter, the Pacers still failed to break the deadlock, and the Knicks were only 4 points behind at the end of the half.
In the first half, the Knicks mainly relied on the performance of several main players such as Anunobi, Bridges and Brunson. However, their rotation lineup is not performing well, which is also related to their lack of playing time. In addition, the Knicks' three-point shooting percentage is worrying, with only three goals being hit in 11 shots. It is undoubtedly even more difficult to win with such a hit rate.

The Pacers suddenly made a move in the third quarter, and an 8-0 start expanded the lead to 12 points, forcing the Knicks to request a timeout. However, after the timeout returned, the Knicks had just narrowed the gap, and the Pacers expanded the lead to 15 points with a wave of three-pointers. Although the Knicks then made a 7-0 offensive, the Pacers quickly stabilized the situation. After three quarters, the Knicks are already 15 points behind.
Entered the fourth quarter, and the Knicks started with a 4-0 climax, forcing the Pacers to request a timeout again. However, the Pacers quickly adjusted their form and continued to maintain a lead of more than 10 points. In the end, the Knicks missed a big comeback and ended the season with a crushing defeat.
