The New York Knicks are gearing up for a critical Game 6 against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, with the potential to force a decisive seventh game. Actor Ben Stiller has publicly shown his support for the Knicks, humorously noting on X that Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton was traveling light for his return to New York, implying he is ready for the pivotal matchup.

Game 6 is slated to tip off at Gainbridge Fieldhouse at 8 p.m. ET. Stiller, known for his enthusiastic presence at Madison Square Garden during the playoffs, witnessed a notable performance from Jalen Brunson, who scored 32 points in the Knicks' Game 5 victory. Following the game, Stiller was seen exclaiming 'Knicks in seven' as he left the arena, feeding into the narrative of an intense comeback for the Knicks, who must rely on standout performances from both Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns if they wish to extend their playoff run.

The Knicks face a daunting challenge as they attempt to recover from a 3-1 series deficit, a feat achieved by only 13 NBA teams in playoff history. The Pacers, who have not suffered consecutive losses throughout the postseason, pose an additional obstacle. However, the Knicks recently delivered their best defensive performance of the month, successfully restricting the Pacers to under 100 points in Game 5. Haliburton struggled in that game, scoring just eight points on 2-for-7 shooting, making it his least effective outing of the series. With renewed momentum, Brunson, Towns, and the Knicks are poised to seek a crucial victory on the road.
