The Knicks are not dead yet.
With their season on the line Thursday, Jalen Brunson powered them to a 111-94 Game 5 victory over the Pacers at the Garden.
The point guard poured in 32 points to ensure the series would shift back to Indiana for a Game 6 on Saturday.
Indiana now leads the series 3-2 with their second chance to finish off the Knicks coming on their home court.
The Knicks took a double-digit halftime lead and built a 22-point advantage at one point, but the Pacers did attempt to mount another fourth-quarter comeback cutting the lead to 12.

Unlike Game 1, though, when the Knicks choked away their chance for a victory with an epic collapse, they hit enough shots down the stretch and took advantage of an off night from Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton.
