An Unexpected Clash in the Eastern Conference


The NBA playoffs for 2025 have brought an exciting turn of events with the New York Knicks facing off against the Indiana Pacers in what promises to be a much-anticipated Eastern Conference Finals match-up.

After knocking out the defending champions, the Boston Celtics, in a 4-2 series, the Knicks now hold the momentum—and the home-court advantage—heading into this best-of-seven battle. Their consistent performance during the regular season (51-31) earned them the third seed, placing them in a strong position to take control early in the series.

Pacers Defy Expectations

On the flip side, the Indiana Pacers have emerged as the surprise team of this year’s playoffs.

Finishing fourth in the East with a 50-32 record, they shocked everyone by defeating the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers 4-1. This came right after their impressive first-round win against the Milwaukee Bucks, which they also took 4-1.

With such impressive form, the Pacers are anything but underdogs—bringing firepower and confidence into Madison Square Garden.
