The Knicks are in the NBA playoffs for the second straight season and are coming off a year where they lost to the Miami Heat (in six games).

They are the second seed in the Eastern Conference and had a 50-32 record.

All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson had an incredible series, and finished Game 6 with 41 points, three rebounds and 12 assists while shooting 13/27 from the field and 3/8 from the three-point range in 44 minutes of playing time.

As for the Pacers, they are the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference and had a 47-35 record.

They beat the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round (in six games).

The franchise is in the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season when Victor Oladipo was still on the roster.

Meanwhile, Anthony is one of the best players to ever play for the Knicks.

The ten-time NBA All-Star retired last year, and has also spent time with the OKC Thunder, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers.
