INDIANAPOLIS – The upcoming Eastern Conference Finals rematch between the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks differs significantly from last year’s semifinals, with the Knicks enhancing their roster by acquiring Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges, and featuring 7-0 center Mitchell Robinson. Rebounding remains a critical aspect, as the Knicks have been dominant on the boards, averaging 43 rebounds per game and ranking high in second-chance points, while the Pacers struggle in this area. Game one is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Wednesday, and Pacers coach Rick Carlisle emphasizes the importance of rebounding for success in the series.
