Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for May 30th, 2025. Coming up, Espera Henney and I are going to talk about the Knicks being back, being bonged at 3-2, going back to Indiana. Then Shakia Taylor is going to join us to talk about what went wrong for the Pacers. Everybody, Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks got it done wire to wire. They did not make it hard. We're going back to Indy.
The Knicks still trail 3-2 in the series, but they pick up a big win, 111-94. Man, huge game for the Knicks. They did not roll over, unlike the Timberwolves.
They did not. No. And Carl Anthony Towns did not roll over. Yeah.
How about that? Playing on a bum knee. And I mean, you would not have noticed it from the way he performed. And he was the best player on the court every single time he was out there.
Yeah, I thought he was electric, especially at like setting the tone early in this game, you know, especially in these type of elimination games. I mean, we just saw it with the Thunder and Timberwolves where it's like you could be out of the game in 12 minutes, depending on the energy and vibe you bring to the game. Right. The Knicks set the tone. Like they played more physical.
And I know some of that stuff sounds like a cliche. But if you listen to all the postgame pressers from basically everybody from the Knicks side, from the Pacers side, they're all talking about physicality and just like setting the tone initially. Right. Well, you can see it.
I mean, just like literally it came across the screen. I mean, if you go back and look at the box score, the Pacers starters combined for 37 points. That shows me that they got punched in the mouth and never recovered. And credit to you, by the way, I'm going to give you credit. You called this like, I don't know, eight minutes into the game. You said, oh, this is over. It's a wrap.
