Well, of course. You knew how this would go, didn't you?
This was easier to predict than sunrise at dawn, which is the only way the Blob could once again have gotten right. Pacers win Game 4 by 32; Pacers lose Game 5 by 30. And that means ...
Yup. Pacers win Game 6 by 13. Right on absolute cue.
The same Pacers who got Windexed 53-29 on the glass in Game 5, with the Knicks collecting 20 offensive boards, Windexed the Knicks 47-35 this time around. Even outboarded them on the offensive end, 14-13.
All six Pacers starters snagged at least half-a-dozen rebounds. Pascal Siakam went for 25 and seven as the Pacers exploited one mismatch on him after another. Myles Turner scored 17 points and grabbed eight boards. Isaiah Hartenstine, the Knicks 7-footer who dominated the Pacers in the paint in Game 5 with 17 boards, got just seven this time out.
And so it's on to Game 7, back in New York. Where, of course ...
Oh, heck. You know.
