I also had the Knicks as well with the -1.5 and it didn't disappoint those who bet on them ML or the handicap as they covered it with a lot of spare if you bet on them pre-game. Jalen Brunson was on fire in this game with a huge 44 points.
So now it goes back to Pacers homecourt. And I think we might see a game 7 in this series.

Too bad folks like us who believed that the Pacers would be good enough to bring the momentum they had in game 4 at Indiana tonight, but Haliburton's performance was way below average, I expected better from him. As most have already pointed out over the course of this series that he just like to stick to making and facilitating plays.
He doesn't get aggressive with scoring when he's not able to make plays or his teammates are having a tough time with finding the basket. Having just 9 field goal attempts is never going to win them games if his team aren't scoring, it would not even matter whether they're on home, If he attempts similar numbers or less in game 6, then I'm definitely sure that it will be a Knicks win in 6.
Haliburton is not too selfish that's why he didn't carry the team. The scoring within the team is very much spread but it doesn't result in a win. I think they need to make an adjustment in game 6 so they'll bring this game to 7. I now have doubts if the Pacers have the killer instinct to be a champion because they are inconsistent sometimes. Well, I must say that these two teams are very well match up, so may the best team wins, and I think bettors just have to follow the trend, and with that said, it should be the pacers with the spread in game 6.
Yeah, I would agree that Haliburton is selfless which is good, but as a leader of a team there are time where you'd have to be Selfish in order to help your team mates win games, teams do find it difficult to score sometimes that's why you'll see teams like Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks thrive a lot because there are days when all Jokic or Doncic do is to create plays and gets double digits in assists, but they are days when either of them would need to do scoring independently while depending on there team mates to help with the defensive duties alone. Look Jalen Brunson for instance, he has been doing a vast majority of the scoring for his team not because he's selfish, but because when he doesn't score as much as a leaders it rubs off on his other teams mate or the team collectively.
