These are the refs assigned for game 6 between Pacers and Knicks: Meet the officiating crew
Here are the officials assigned to oversee Game 6 between the Knicks and the Pacers.
Another epic contest is in store with the action moving back to Gainbridge Fieldhouse with the Indiana Pacers just one victory away from booking a place in the NBA Championship final.
It’s been a quarter of a century since the Pacers last contested the NBA Final. Reggie Miller, Jalen Rose, Mark Jackson and Co. lost to a Lakers side that featured Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant.
Knicks fight back
Back to this year’s competition, the Knicks gave themselves a lifeline with a 94-111 win at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, with Jalen Brunson rounding off the night with 32 points and Karl-Anthony Towns adding 24 points and 13 rebounds.
The big question is can Tom Thibodeau’s do it all over again and force Game 7...
Ensuring the game flows along smoothly will be referee Tony Brothers - a highly-experienced ref who made his NBA debut in 1994–95 and has officiated a total of 1,854 regular-season games, 212 playoff games and 17 finals.
Brothers also oversaw the 2009 NBA All-Star Game in Phoenix. Curiously, the 60-year-old was voted the NBA’s best ref in a 2023 survey of 108 NBA players conducted by The Athletic, polling 28.8 percent of the votes.
