Roy Hibbert

Larry Bird sends me another 1 am text This one isn't calling the team SOFT. All positive this time: "Those who play together stay together!"

Mike Wells

Big day in Indy next Sunday. Indy 500 in the afternoon. Pacers-Heat Game 3 at the fieldhouse that night.

Mike Wells

Lance Stephenson was "Born Ready" in scoring a career-high to help send the Pacers to the Eastern Conference finals indy.st/11NOxYG

Roy Hibbert

Happy but got a lot of hard work ahead of us. Go Pacers.

Scott Agness

.@TheFieldhouse exceeded 110 decibels at times tonight. That's about the same as a jackhammer or loud rock concert.

Paul George

Thanks for the support and love !

Paul George

Proud of my guys!

Scott Agness

Pacers stats: they had only 9 turnovers (none in the 4th), were +32 in the paint, +16 at the FT line, +7 on the glass and shot 51%.

Lance Stephenson

I'm so blessed I want to thanks GOD,my family, my kids, my team, LARRY BIRD, pacers fans and everyone that believed in me. Thanks

All 5 starters took the podium postgame. http://t.co/Z3PAIgur3o

Scott Agness

David West: "This is the most together group I've ever been a part of."

Scott Agness

Hill, who found out he was cleared around 1 PM, "This was a game I couldn't miss, and I couldn't wait to get out there with my teammates."

Scott Agness

All five starters at the podium. instagram.com/p/ZemEYPF5bp/

Scott Agness

Vogel: "This is not about getting back at Miami. When you make it to the final four, it's about winning a championship."

Scott Agness

Pacers coach Frank Vogel at the podium with his two daughters. instagram.com/p/ZelQkjl5aT/

Scott Agness

The team has been about ‘togetherness’ all season. They did it together on the floor and all 5 starters are scheduled to go to the podium.

Scott Agness

Pacers outscored the Knicks 16-7 over the final five minutes, beginning with Hibbert's crucial block on Anthony at the rim.

Scott Agness

Pacers beat the Knicks 106-99 and win the series to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2004.

Mike Wells

Pacers win 106-99 to advance to Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2004. Game 1 is Wed in Miami.

Scott Agness

Beat the Heat chants have started at @TheFieldhouse...

Mike Wells

The "Beat the Heat" chants have started at the fieldhouse

Scott Agness

The Pacers' entire bench is standing. Vogel is smiling wide. Hill and Stephenson embrace at half court.

Scott Agness

After being fouled by Shumpert, Hill made both foul shots to extend the Pacers' lead to six w/ 39.5 secs left.

Conrad Brunner

So let me get this straight: Lance Stephenson is a better clutch player than Carmelo Anthony?

Scott Agness

Hill sinks them both -- all five IND starters are in double figures. Pacers lead 103-97, 55.7 seconds.

Scott Agness

Kenyon Martin joins Chandler on the bench with six fouls. Up 4 w/ 55.7 secs, Hill will shoot two FTs.

Scott Agness

Stephenson has risen to the moment and displayed as much (positive) emotion on the floor as we've ever seen. Pacers up 101-94, 1:53 left.

Conrad Brunner

Anthony finally makes one, his first 4th quarter bucket of the series in Indy. He was 0-12.

Mike Wells

Lance Stephenson has taken over this game. Yes, Born Ready is killing the Knicks.

Scott Agness

A confident Stephenson grabbed the rebound, then called his own number. He forced a foul on Chandler, his 6th. Lance has IND last 6pts.

Mike Wells

Stephenson with steal, basket, foul and a point up in the stands to his Coney Island crew. Pacers up 95-92 w 3:46 left

Conrad Brunner

This Anthony dude, whoever he is, is killing Knicks right now.

Scott Agness

Really cool seeing Indy teams support one another. Pagano, Mathis, McAfee, Overton, Brackett and members of the Fever all on hand.

Mike Wells

Paul just drew an offensive foul on Melo - his 4th - and the score is tied at 92-92 with 4:32 left in the game.

Conrad Brunner

Hibbert blocks Melo's dunk attempt for one big stop, George draws a charge from Melo for another. Still tied with 4:32 left. Crunch time.

Scott Agness

Can't say enough about Hibbert's play. He's completely outplaying Tyson Chandler. Defense leading to offense. Game tied at 92.

Conrad Brunner

Chandler gets his 5th foul and I don't even bother to write it down. He's had so little impact, what does it matter?

Mike Wells

The Knicks are making their 3's, but they're also outworking the Pacers fro loose balls. NYK up 89-88 w 7:28 left in the game.

Conrad Brunner

It's so physical, mop kids are getting worn down.

Conrad Brunner

Knicks missed 12 of first 17 3s, but made 7 straight till Smith just missed.

Scott Agness

After starting the game 5-of-17 from the 3-point line, the Knicks have made their last seven attempts. Pacers trail by three, 9:01 left.

Mike Wells

Knicks picked a good time to get it going from long distance. They're 12-of-24 on 3's

Scott Agness

Kenyon Martin tagged with his 5th foul. Pacers have to convert at the free throw line down the stretch. Knicks lead by one.

Mike Wells

The Knicks are 15 of 15 from the line. The Pacers are 25 of 33 after Paul George came away empty from there.

Scott Agness

Check on free throws: Pacers are 25-33, while the Knicks have made all 15 tries.

Conrad Brunner

You didn't really think this was gonna be a blowout, did you?

Scott Agness

Tied at 81, we're set for an exciting 4th quarter. Shumpert scored 16 in the 3rd, helping NY outscore IND by 8 in the period.

Mike Wells

Paul George makes a lay up w 0.2 sec left in 3rd to tie the score at 81-81 heading into the 4th. Shumpert and Melo 3rd qtr for NYK

Conrad Brunner

Iman Shumpert goes all Reggie on the Pacers, scoring 16 in the quarter, including four 3s, and it's tied into the 4th.

Mike Wells

And the Knicks have an 81-79 lead

Scott Agness

The Knicks have tied the game at 72 after four consecutive 3-pointers - three from Iman Shumpert. 2:58 left in the 3Q.

Mike Wells

JR Smith with KNicks 4th straight 3 and the score is tied at 72-72 w 2:58 left in 3rd

Mike Wells

Two straight times the Knicks outhustled the Pacers for loose balls. Two straight times Shumpert made 3's. Check that 3 straight 3's.

Scott Agness

Pacers recognizing Indy's own @EdCarpenter20 during the timeout. He's on the pole for next weekend's #Indy500.

Mike Wells

If the Knicks lose this game it won't be because of Melo. He's got 31 pts on only 20 attempts.

Scott Agness

Carmelo is on his way to 40+. He's got 31pts on 12-of-20 shooting. Pacers ahead 67-60, 6:29 3Q.

Conrad Brunner

J.R. Smith checks in to see if he can get the ejection out of the way early.

Scott Agness

Tyson Chandler, who's been handled by Hibbert this series, now has four fouls. Kenyon Martin takes his spot.

Mike Wells

I wonder if the coaches around the league watching Chandler are asking themselves, "How in the hell did I vote him 1st team All-Defense?"

Scott Agness

Pacers on top 55-47 at half, led by 16pts, 8rbs from Lance Stephenson. Carmelo has 20. Pacers are 7-0 this postseason when leading at half.

Mike Wells

Pacers go into the half with a 55-47 lead

Mike Wells

Vogel was yelling "kill him, Paul, kill him, Paul" as a decoy on the final possession, which ended with Lance three-point play.

Conrad Brunner

Pacers had a 5-on-4 after JR was knocked down in backcourt by George but stalled the possession with a timeout. Curious.

Scott Agness

Tyson Chandler picks up his 3rd foul, then J.R. Smith gets T'd up. Pacers have their largest lead: 52-42.

Conrad Brunner

J.R. Smith twice petulantly flips of the ball away from the refs, earning a T for the 2nd.

Mike Wells

Chandler gets called for foul. JR Smith gets a tech. Melo tells JR to just knock it off. Pacers up 51-42 w 1:40 left in half

Scott Agness

Remember, this time last year Lance was on the bench. Tonight, he's been the Pacers best player. Aggressive, yet under control.

Mike Wells

Refs review the play and downgraded it to a regular foul on Chandler

Mike Wells

Chandler delivers a flagrant foul on Stephenson. Instead of spending 20 min on the ground (like in Game 5), Lance hopped right back up.

Scott Agness

Lance Stephenson, aka Gump, is all fired up. Took the ball the length of the court for a layup...then absorbed a hard foul by Chandler.

Conrad Brunner

Tyson Chandler does to Lance Stephenson what Roy Hibbert has been doing to Knicks throughout series, and fans don't like it.

Mike Wells

Melo and Sam Young exchange words as he heads to the bench.

Conrad Brunner

Paul George needs to throw more passes and lob fewer hand grenades.

Mike Wells

When is the last time Sam Young has been talked about in a positive way on Twitter? He picked a good night to play well.

Conrad Brunner

We're almost 5 minutes into the 2nd quarter and Knicks have 0 rebs in period, 5 for game. Effort indicator?

Scott Agness

Sam Young giving the Pacers good minutes, again. Not sure how much longer Woodson can stick w/ Amar'e. Pacers 40-34, 7:28 2Q.

Conrad Brunner

Like I've been saying all along, Sam Young should be playing more.

Mike Wells

Even David West had to smile that Kenyon Martin pulled the chair from under him, causing him to throw the ball up toward the basket.

Conrad Brunner

Pacers have yet to play a one-possession game in the playoffs. This one has that feeling.

Conrad Brunner

J.R. Smith jobs toward a long rebound, Sam Young sprints. Guess who wound up with the ball.

Mike Wells

I don't think @AustinCroshere has aged a bit since they showed him on the jumbotron of the Pacers-Knicks flashback.

Scott Agness

Strong quarter for both teams, shooting 50%. Pacers lead 29-27. Carmelo had an efficient quarter, going 5-of-8 for 12pts.

Mike Wells

Stephenson has 9 pts and the Pacers lead 29-27 at end of 1st qtr

Conrad Brunner

Highest-scoring quarter of the series ends with the Pacers up 29-27. Anthony heating up, has 12 for Knicks.

Mike Wells

Melo has it going tonight. He's got 12 pts on 5 of 8 shooting. Knicks doing good job of setting multiple screens to free him up

Scott Agness

Excellent ball movement leads to a corner-3 from Paul George. He nailed it, and was fouled in the act by 'Melo. Pacers up 5.

Mike Wells

Lance Stephenson is already having a better game than in Game 5. He's got 7 pts, 6 boards and 3 assists

Scott Agness

Lance Stephenson has been incredibly active early. He has 5pts, 5rebs, 2asts just six minutes in. Pacers up 17-12.

Scott Agness

Pacers already dominating the boards, 7-0. They have a six-point lead. And Iman Shumpert just picked up his 2nd foul.

Scott Agness

Busy day for Colts coach Chuck Pagano. He waved the green flag at IMS for Pole Day, now sitting in the 2nd row of Game 6.
