[Saba Sports News] Entering Game 6 against the Indiana Pacers with high confidence, the New York Knicks players opted for a bold statement, donning all-black attire as they arrived at the arena on Friday night—a symbol in sports often likened to attending a funeral.
However, the intended funeral did not materialize for the Pacers. Instead, playing in front of their home fans, Indiana controlled the game from the start and ultimately triumphed 116-103, pushing the series to a decisive Game 7 at Madison Square Garden—the venue’s first since 1995.
Jalen Brunson, speaking to the New York Post, acknowledged the benefit of home-court advantage but emphasized that victory was not guaranteed. The Knicks’ fashion gamble not only failed but also ended in humiliation.
Given the outcome, it’s unlikely they will repeat the all-black look for Sunday’s crucial game at MSG.
