NBA Playoffs: Siakam bags ECF MVP as Pacers knock out Knicks in Game 6

After defeating the New York Knicks 125-108 in Game 6 of the Conference Finals, the Indiana Pacers advance to the NBA Finals.

Although the Pacers' performance in this series was a complete team effort, only Pascal Siakam was able to win the Eastern Conference Finals MVP award.

In his games versus the Knicks, Siakam averaged 24.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.7 blocks.

Additionally, the 31-year-old was extremely efficient, shooting 50.0% from beyond the arc and 52.4% from the field.

With 31 points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and three blocks, Siakam was the player of the game in this Game 6 victory.

The Pacers had won the first three games in the series, and it was his third 30-point performance.

When the Pacers acquired Siakam from the Toronto Raptors in 2024, they would have anticipated these kinds of performances.
