The Knicks have had their best season in over a decade, winning 54 games, an Atlantic Division title and making the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 1999. However, a loss to Indiana on Thursday, which would knock them out of the second round in only five games, would color all those accomplishments.

Very little has gone right for New York this series, as it lost home-court advantage in a 102-95 loss in Game 1 and has struggled to find their game ever since. The Knicks were run off the court in Games 3 and 4 in Indiana, losing both by 11 points, as the Pacers defense suffocated their offense.

While only 8 teams have come back from a 3-1 series deficit in NBA history, the Knicks certainly have enough talent to force the series back to Indiana. The Pacers, meanwhile, don't want to play a deep series, not after the Heat advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday night.

Can the Pacers avoid turning the ball over?

It's no coincidence that the only Knicks victory in this series came in Game 2, when the Pacers turned it over 21 times. In the half-court, the Indiana defense, ranked No. 1 in the NBA, has been able to shrink the floor while still running New York off the three-point line. That changed in Game 2, when the Knicks pushed the ball in transition, getting 32 fast-break points and scoring before the Pacers defense could get set.

With Roy Hibbert and David West dominating upfront, Indiana wants to slow the pace as much as possible. As a result, the key will be the offensive execution of George Hill, Lance Stephenson and Paul George, who combined for 12 turnovers in Game 2, including seven from George. If they can avoid too many live-ball turnovers, the Knicks offense will have a hard time getting back on track.

The game tips off at 8 p.m. ET on TNT, with the Knick as five point favorites.
