The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers have taken this series as far as it can go. It has see-sawed back and forth unpredictably, with the Pacers mostly playing the spoiler. The Knicks went up 2-0, but then the Pacers evened the series, including crushing the Knicks by more than 30 points in Game 4. The Knicks in turn smashed the Pacers by 30 in Game 5, but then lost by 13 in Game 6.

That brings us to Game 7. If the Pacers win, it will be their first trip to the Eastern Conference finals since 2013-14. A 10-year drought is pretty bad, but nowhere near as bad as the Knicks. They haven’t been to the conference finals since 1999-2000.

Which team will end their drought today? We’ll know in just four quarters. Follow along here for all the action from Game 7.

Live17 updates

  • Pacers taking control

    Fantastic on-ball defense there by Ben Sheppard, absolutely refusing to let himself get screened off Donte DiVincenzo, results in a Knicks turnover, another Pacers fast break, and another bucket in the paint — their eighth of the game, less than three minutes into the second quarter. Indiana’s up 18, Tom Thibodeau wants to talk it over, and the Garden, for now, is pin-drop silent.

  • Pacers are on fire

    The Pacers shoot 77.8% (7-of-9) from 3 in the first quarter. Is that good?

  • Tyrese Haliburton means business

    Welcome to Game 7, Tyrese Haliburton. Four straight buckets — including three transition 3-pointers — give him 11 quick points, and push the Pacers’ lead to double figures at 34-22. Indiana has 34 points on 17 possessions — absolutely scorching offense to start Game 7.

  • Foul on Haliburton overturned!

  • It’s getting a little tense

    Things getting testy as a little alteration breaks out at 4:50 of the first. Donte DiVincenzo didn’t like Pascal Siakam taking some time in the lane to recover as DiVincenzo lined up at the FT line after getting fouled. All kinds of peeps were on the court. Now the Pacers have called for a review of Tyrese Haliburton’s foul on DiVincenzo.

  • Pacers seemingly playing at their pace

    Red hot start for the Pacers — 7-for-8 from the floor, five assists without a turnover, pushing off makes and taking advantage when the Knicks aren’t matched up. Indiana has weathered the storm early — 16-10 lead into the first timeout.
