The Celtics were unable to become the sixth team in NBA history to win a seven-game series under that scenario, but the Knicks now must accomplish that feat and win four of the next five — beginning with Game 3 on Sunday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse — if they are to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.

After dropping two close games at home to open the series, the Knicks are slight underdogs in Indy in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Sunday night.

It'll be Pacers and Racers on Sunday with Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals and the Indy 500 both on Sunday in Indianapolis. Buckle up.
