It's one that got renewed this year by having these two teams face off in the Eastern Conference Finals. New York hasn't been to the NBA Finals since 1999, when they beat the Pacers to get there. Indiana hasn't been to the Finals since 2000, when they beat the Knicks to advance. After Game 5, the Pacers still lead the series 3-2.

NBA fans all over were excited to watch the Knicks take down the Pacers. In fact, the ratings were through the roof for an Eastern Conference game. It was the most-watched Eastern Conference Finals Game 5 since 2018, which is quite a feat. Thursday night's Pacers/Knicks game averaged 6.7 million viewers, the most watched ECF, Game 5 since 2018. Viewership peaked with 7.9 million viewers at 9:45 Per @TNTSportsUS — Adam Zagoria (@AdamZagoria) May 30, 2025 The fact that the Knicks are in the game certainly helps the national appeal. They are one of the biggest markets in the NBA, so casual fans are going to watch them play. Indiana is one of the most fun teams to watch in the league, as well. This is also a historic rivalry, so that's why so many people are tuning in.

Both teams have been able to keep their cool thus far. Tyrese Haliburton has had some incredible moments in this series for the Pacers. He is the engine that drives their offense, and he helped cap an insane comeback in Game 1. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns have been instrumental in the success the Knicks have had. Both players continue to play well, no matter what Indiana throws at them. If Indiana makes the NBA Finals, it will be just the second time in franchise history that they will have accomplished that feat. The Knicks last won an NBA title in 1973, so if they make it, they will be looking to do something they haven't done in over 50 years. Meanwhile, the Pacers have never won an NBA championship. A lot is at stake for both franchises as the series winds down to a close.

How to watch Knicks vs. Pacers: Live stream Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals
The New York Knicks' first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years heads to a sixth and potentially final game. We've compiled everything you need to know about how to watch the Knicks vs. Pacers, including viewing options that will allow you to live stream the rest of the Playoffs. While the No. 4 Indiana Pacers held strong for the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, the No. 3 Knicks made a splash in Game 3. The Pacers regained their footing in Game 4, but a Madison Square Garden-set Game 5 put the ball back in the Knicks' court. The Pacers lead the series 3-2, meaning tonight's game in Indianapolis could send the Knicks packing should they lose. However, if the Knicks win, the series will return to New York for Game 7. The winner of the series will face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the Finals. The Thunder made quick work of their Western Conference Finals opponents, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and bounced them in five games.

Sports action is available through the B/R Sports Add-on, which only comes with the ad-free tiers. These plans start at $17/month and come with ad-free on-demand programming. It's important to remember that this option won't allow you to live stream the NBA Finals since the games won't air on Warner Bros. networks.
