The Pacers 3-1 promotion probability is 95.4%: approaching the second finals in team history, and it is expected to realize their dreams in 25 years

On May 28, the G4 dust of the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Finals was settled, and the Pacers defeated the Knicks 130-121 at home, expanding the total score and leading 3-1 to win the match point. The Pacers have already taken the playoffs score 3-1 and have a 95.4% chance of advancing. The Pacers are only one win away from advancing to the finals for the second time after 25 years of team history.

In the Pacers' past team history, they only advanced to the finals once in 2000. At that time, Reggie Miller led the team to face the Lakers led by O'Neal and Kobe in the finals. The Pacers lost to the Lakers 2-4 in total score and finished second.

Pacers' history has never returned to the NBA Finals until they returned to the Eastern Conference Finals last season, but they were swept out 0-4 in total and lost to the Celtics who finally won the championship.

This year, the Pacers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years, and met the Knicks in the playoffs for two consecutive years. However, last year, the Pacers still reversed the Knicks 4-3 in the total score of the Eastern Conference semi-finals, but were swept by the Celtics 0-4 in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

This year, the Pacers met the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, but the Pacers did not repeat the mistakes of losing two games first last year, but instead won two games away. The Pacers completed a 17-point comeback in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, and finally narrowly defeated the Knicks 138-135 overtime, and Halliburton made a key goal and became the number one hero. In the second game, the Pacers narrowly defeated the Knicks 114-109 away again, expanding their overall score to lead 2-0.

Unexpectedly, the Pacers who returned to their home court were still brave and even performed better. Although they were reversed by the Knicks in the third game, the Pacers won another game 130-121 in the fourth game. The Pacers won another game with an expanded total score and led the match point 3-1, just one win from advancing to the finals.

In the history of NBA playoffs, the team with a total score of 3-1 has only 13 reversals, with a probability of advancing as high as 95.4%, so the Pacers are only one win away from advancing to the Finals. The Pacers have only had one NBA Finals experience in the past team history, that is, the 2000 Finals total score was 2-4 and the Lakers led by the OK combination. They are now only one win away from their second NBA Finals journey in team history.
