One Win Away: Pacers Poised for Finals Berth After Game 4 Victory

The Indiana Pacers are sprinting toward the finish line of the Eastern Conference Finals—and they’re doing it in high gear. With a commanding 3-1 series lead over the New York Knicks, Indiana is now just one win away from its first NBA Finals appearance in 25 years.

Tuesday night’s 130-121 win in Game 4 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse showcased the full potential of this young, fast-paced Pacers squad. Tyrese Haliburton turned in a legendary playoff performance, racking up 32 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds—all without a single turnover. It marked the first time in NBA playoff history that a player notched a 30-15-10 line with zero miscues.

Indiana has now won six straight road games this postseason, just two shy of the all-time NBA playoff record for consecutive road wins in a single run. Game 5 is set for tonight back at the Garden, where the Pacers will try to finish off the Knicks for the second straight postseason. If successful, the Blue & Gold will make their first NBA Finals trip since the Reggie Miller-led squad fell to the Lakers in 2000.
