Here are the winners and losers from the closeout game of the Eastern Conference finals between the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks:

The Pacers bounced back from their Game 5 defeat to complete a 4-2 series victory and advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2000. The Oklahoma City Thunder represent their biggest challenge of the playoffs and rolled through the Western Conference bracket on the heels of their 68-win regular season.

Pacers forward Jarace Walker was on crutches with a right ankle injury following Indiana’s 125-108 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday night and coach Rick Carlisle said he was uncertain of Walker’s availability for the NBA Finals.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle was in Indiana the last time the team made the NBA Finals in 2000 -- but as an assistant coach.

The Indiana Pacers will get another crack at closing out the Eastern Conference Finals when they face the New York Knicks on Saturday night in Game 6 at home.
