New York Knicks Form

New York return home looking to get ahead again after surrendering a 2-0 series lead on the road in Indiana.

The Knicks, who went 50-32 in the regular season, needed six games to take down Philadelphia in the first round.

Having taken a 2-0 series lead, they rebounded from a 125-114 loss in Philadelphia with a 97-92 victory, and then responded to a 112-106 loss with a 118-115 win to wrap things up.

Just like in the first round, New York made a strong start to this series with Indiana too, recording 121-117 and 130-121 victories at home.

The Knicks failed to follow up those wins on the road though, suffering 111-106 and 121-89 defeats at the hands of the Pacers.

Indiana Pacers Form

Indiana head out on the road having dragged themselves right back into the series with a couple of home wins.

The Pacers, who went 47-35 in the regular season, advanced from the first round thanks to a 4-2 series in over Milwaukee.

They rebounded from a series-opening defeat with 125-108, 121-118 and 126-113 victories, and then responded to a 115-92 loss with a series-clinching 120-98 win at home.

Indiana dug themselves into an early hole in this series, as they were beaten 121-117 and 130-121 in New York, but they rebounded at home.

The Pacers ended their losing sequence with a 111-106 win over the Knicks, and then backed that up with a 121-89 blowout success that knotted it up at 2-2.

Verdict

Momentum is firmly with Indiana after that convincing victory in Game 4.

New York appear to be running out of steam as this series progresses, and the Pacers' aggressive approach can be key to a big road win here.
