The Indiana Pacers play a massive Game 7 vs the New York Knicks tomorrow, and they hope to be ready
INDIANAPOLIS — They are referred to as the greatest words in sports, and now they are the challenge facing the Indiana Pacers on Sunday afternoon: Game 7.
For many Pacers players, this is their first Game 7. Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, T.J. McConnell, Myles Turner, and James Johnson, have been on teams that battled in the due-or-die setting before, but Nesmith and McConnnell weren't involved much. Nesmith even said that Sunday's outing feels like his first Game 7 because he actually has a role on his team this time. He's not a young observer any more.
The Pacers have played in many big games this season. They battled the Los Angeles Lakers in the In-Season Tournament Finals, and they had a few win-and-in regular seasons that would have clinched Indiana a postseason berth. Their first round series featured two close out opportunities, and they took care of business in the second one. The stakes of their season have steadily grown in volume.
In 2016, the Pacers lost to the Raptors in a Game 7, and DeMar DeRozan was the key. During Indiana's last Game 7 win, Paul George had 30 points and 11 rebounds. Consistently, stars make their name in an outing with high stakes like this. Sunday will be no different. But role players can prove their value in big games, too.
