The New York Knicks' season is on the brink as they host the Indiana Pacers for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Indiana has a 3-1 lead over New York and closed each of its previous two series this postseason in five games. The Pacers have won four straight games in playoff-series-clinching scenarios, the longest streak in franchise history, On the contrary, the Knicks are 1-3 under head coach Tom Thibodeau when facing elimination.
With a win on Thursday, the Pacers would be the lowest-seeded team (4-seed) to lose one game or fewer in each series en route to the NBA Finals since the playoffs expanded to 16 teams in 1984.
