NBA Playoffs: Pacers lock down Knicks to force Game 7

The Indiana Pacers will get a Game 7 against the New York Knicks.

Behind a lockdown defensive effort and 25 points from Pascal Siakam, Indiana defeated the Pacers 116-103 in Game 6 on Friday to send the series back to New York. The winner-take-all game is scheduled for Monday at 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC).

It will be the first Game 7 at Madison Square since 1995, when the Knicks lost to the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Friday was very much a case of the Pacers' usual suspects all doing what they needed to survive in front of the home crowd.
