After losing Saturday's Game 6 to the Indiana Pacers, 125-108, the New York Knicks' 2024-25 campaign is in the books.

If you want to know why the New York Knicks couldn't beat the Indiana Pacers in their 125-108 Game 6 loss -- or in the Eastern Conference finals in general -- you probably have to go back to the summer of 2022.

It took the Knicks less than a year to acquire OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns. The mission was clear: Put significant talent around the scoring proficiency and playmaking acumen of point guard Jalen Brunson.

The Pacers polished off the New York Knicks on Saturday, winning 125-108 in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals after a third-quarter rally. It will be their first NBA Finals appearance since 2000, back when Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose starred while Larry Bird coached.

Pascal Siakam scored 31 points, Tyrese Haliburton had 21 points and 13 assists, and the Indiana Pacers pulled away for a 125-108 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 6 on Saturday night to reach the NBA Finals for the second time in franchise history.

The Indiana Pacers will get another crack at closing out the Eastern Conference Finals when they face the New York Knicks on Saturday night in Game 6 at home.
