The Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks on Saturday to clinch a spot in the NBA Finals, and for his efforts in the series, Pacers forward Pascal Siakam won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP award.

Pascal Siakam picked up the Larry Bird Trophy as the Eastern Conference Finals Most Valuable Player after the Pacers eliminated the Knicks in Game 6.

Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers lead the series 3-2 and won convincingly in Game 4 the last time they were at home, but Jalen Brunson and the Knicks turned in their best performance of the series in Game 5 in New York and have the momentum as they look to force a Game 7 that would take place Monday at Madison Square Garden.
