The NY Knicks stayed alive in the Eastern Conference finals, with a win over the Indiana Pacers 111-94 on Thursday in Game 5 at MSG.

Jalen Brunson scored 32 points, with Karl-Anthony Towns adding 24 points and 13 rebounds to earn their first victory at home in this series. They hope to become only the 14th team to return from a 3-1 deficit to win a series — no team has won a conference finals series after dropping the first two games at home.

The Pacers and Knicks will meet for Game 6 on Saturday at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
