Knicks Dominate Game 5: Brunson and Towns Lead Charge to Force Game 6
The New York Knicks staved off elimination with a commanding 111-94 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Madison Square Garden. Jalen Brunson led the way with 32 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 24 points and 13 rebounds, playing through a bruised knee. The Knicks' defense was stifling, holding Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton to just 8 points and 6 assists. Bennedict Mathurin led Indiana with 23 points off the bench. With the series now at 3-2 in favor of Indiana, the Knicks aim to force a Game 7 as they head to Indianapolis for Game 6.

The Knicks were 2:51 away from taking a 1–0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals—then everything unraveled.
In this episode of Locked Up Sports, we break down one of the most shocking collapses in recent NBA playoff history. New York blew a 14-point lead in under three minutes, falling 138–135 to the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden. Aaron Nesmith turned into Reggie Miller, burying seven three-pointers in the final moments to complete a Pacers comeback for the ages.

Panthers, Underdogs & Glory: Author Tom McKeown on Long Island’s Greatest High School Hoops Story
In this episode of Locked Up Sports, we're joined by author Tom McKeown to discuss his powerful memoir, This Is Panther Country: A Memoir of Youth, Underdog Spirit, and Basketball Glory. Tom takes us back to the 1974–75 season of the Babylon High School Panthers, a small-town team that shocked Long Island basketball by winning the first-ever inter-county championship.
We talk about the epic rivalry with Amityville, the unforgettable final against South Side, and how a 13-year-old fan's view from the stands turned into one of the most heartfelt sports books in years.
It's a story of grit, community, and the unifying power of high school sports — and it's one you don't want to miss.
