The 2025 Eastern Conference finals are a matchup straight out of the 1990s, but the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers also have fresh beef to bicker over.
New York and Indiana have faced off in the postseason eight times, including six in an eight-year span. The last time the Knicks were playing for a spot in the Finals was in 2000 -- losing to the Pacers in six games.
One of the more iconic moments of the rivalry took place in Game 5 of the 1994 Eastern Conference finals. Pacers legend Reggie Miller did a choking celebration aimed at Knicks fan Spike Lee after scoring 25 points in the fourth quarter for a comeback win.
