The Indiana Pacers ended the New York Knicks’ season on Sunday with a Game 7 victory at Madison Square Garden. The Pacers lost 0-2, 3-2 to the Knicks in the second round, but they had a strong attack on Sunday and eliminated the thriving Knicks from the 2024 NBA Playoffs. The Pacers are scheduled to face the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals starting Tuesday.
Game 7 of the Western Conference is also on Sunday. The reigning champion Denver Nuggets will host the Minnesota Timberwolves and look to advance to the conference finals against the Dallas Mavericks. After the Nuggets won their third straight series, the Timberwolves won Game 6 on Thursday night to keep their season alive.
The Mavericks defeated the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round, advancing to the Western Conference finals for the second time in three years. The Mavs defeated OKC on Saturday night in a heartbreaking Game 6.
Meanwhile, the Celtics have advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the sixth time in the last eight seasons. With 64 wins, the Celtics are the top seed in the East and will have home court advantage over the No. 6 seed Pacers.
The postseason field started with 20 teams, but has now been reduced to five teams. The Warriors, Kings, Hawks, and Bulls were eliminated from the play-in tournament, and the Pelicans, Suns, Clippers, Lakers, Heat, 76ers, Bucks, and Magic were all eliminated in the first round. And the Cavs, Thunder, and Knicks were all eliminated at home in the second round.
