The Pacers played a crazy offense in the first quarter today, scoring 39 points in a single quarter under Haliburton's leadership, which also set a historical record for the tiebreaker. They then continued their offensive firepower in the second quarter, leading the Knicks by as many as 22 points at the top and 15 points at halftime. The Knicks trailed by just seven points in the third quarter, but the Pacers quickly pulled away to more than 20 points again, and the Pacers won on the road.

In this way, the Pacers officially advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. This is the first time in 10 years that the Pacers have reached the Eastern Conference Finals, having reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2014 under George, when they lost to the Heat and missed out on the Finals. In the regular season this season, the Pacers finished sixth in the East with a 47-35 record, and they eliminated the Bucks 4-1 in the first round before eliminating the Knicks in the semifinals in seven games.

This year's Eastern Conference Finals matchups and schedules are as follows (home team lasts):

G1 5.22 GMT: Pacers vs Celtics 8 o'clock

G2 5.24 GMT: Pacers vs Celtics 8 o'clock

The Celtics eliminated the Cavaliers 4-1 in the semifinals to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, having four more days off than the Pacers. According to the latest reports, the Celtics' Porzingis will not play in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, but he is very hopeful that he will return in the late stages of the Eastern Conference Finals, which is good news for the Green Army to challenge for a championship.

In addition, in the regular season this season, the Celtics and Pacers have played each other five times, and the Celtics have a record of 3 wins and 2 losses. However, in the playout round of the midseason, the Pacers defeated the Celtics to advance. The last time the two teams met in the playoffs was in the first round in 2019, when the Green swept the Pacers 4-0 to advance.
