Knicks Extend Eastern Finals with Game 5 Win over Pacers
Mitchell Robinson played a pivotal defensive role in the New York Knicks' 111-94 Game 5 victory over the Indiana Pacers, helping the team stave off elimination in the 2025 NBA Playoffs. Starting for the first time in the postseason at Madison Square Garden, Robinson contributed six points, six rebounds, two blocks, and a steal in 20 minutes, energizing a crucial 10-0 Knicks run in the third quarter that expanded their lead to 20 points. His defensive highlights included multiple blocks and an interception that shifted momentum, while Karl-Anthony Towns also scored 24 points despite playing through a knee contusion. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau attributed Robinson’s playing time and lineup changes to strategic matchups and foul trouble, with Robinson replacing guard Josh Hart in the starting lineup during key stretches. The Pacers attempted to exploit Robinson’s poor free-throw shooting with intentional fouling, but his defensive impact remained significant. Robinson’s performance underscores his value as a rim protector and rebounder, even as he remains limited to around 20 minutes per game.
