Knicks down to final chance after Pacers’ Game 6 rout



The Knicks’ hopes of clinching things on the road have been dashed.

There will be a win-or-go-home game at the Garden.

The Pacers steamrolled the Knicks in Game 6, 116-103, to force a Game 7 in New York on Sunday.

Jalen Brunson was kept in check in the first half and Josh Hart was subbed out in the second half with abdominal soreness as the Knicks never could really get going.

Brunson did lead all scorers with 31 points, but they largely came in the second half with the Knicks already down double digits.
