In the process, Brunson and Towns joined some exclusive company: They're the first pair of teammates to both score 20+ points in each of the first five games of a conference finals since Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal did so for the Lakers against the Kings in 2002.

Jalen Brunson scored 32 points, Karl-Anthony Towns added 24 points and the Knicks stayed alive in the Eastern Conference finals by beating the Pacers on Thursday night in Game 5.

Tyrese Haliburton put on a historical performance, collecting 32 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists, four steals, and zero turnovers. He became the first player in NBA history to score at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 15 assists while committing no turnovers.

From Jalen Brunson's sizzling start to the "Knicks in 7! Knicks in 7!" chants at the finish, this was New York's night.

The Knicks got it done in Game 5, but are the Pacers under the most pressure with the East finals series going back to Indiana?

If the Knicks can get off to a strong start in Game 6 on Saturday and force a Game 7, Tom Thibodeau’s mid-series adjustments will be celebrated.
