Knicks to Play Pacers in Eastern Conference Finals
The New York Knicks are in the Eastern Conference Finals after beating the defending champion Boston Celtics in Game 6 at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks have officially gotten over the hump that has ended their season in each of the past two years, and they are set to face the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
In an ironic twist of fate, the Pacers were the Knicks’ opponent the last time New York was in the Conference Finals in 2000.
Indiana won the first two games at home while New York answered by evening the series 2-2 with a pair of wins at Madison Square Garden. The Pacers took control of the series again in Game 5 and closed out with a win at MSG in Game 6 to advance to the NBA Finals, where they would eventually lose to Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal and the Los Angeles Lakers.
That year marked the last time the Pacers made the NBA Finals. The Knicks are looking for their first Finals visit since 1999, where they made a historic run as an 8-seed, but lost to Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs.
Now, one of the two rivals will end their long 25+ year drought as they meet in the Eastern Conference Finals again.

Thousands lose power from storms in northeast Indiana
INDIANA (WANE) — Thousands of customers for multiple power companies in northeast Indiana are without power as a result of severe storms.
As several counties experienced tornado watches and warnings, severe storms rampaging through communities also knocked out power. As of 11:30 Thursday night, approximately 7,000 customers have reported outages across three different power companies.
According to the Indiana Michigan Power outage map, over 2,000 households are without power in Allen and Grant Counties.
On Duke Energy’s outage map, nearly 2,000 people do not have power in Huntington County, and over 24,000 people do not have power in the entire state of Indiana.
Northeast REMC’s outage map shows that over 3,000 people do not have power in its entire service area.
It’s unclear when these power companies will restore power to customers.
