Andrew Nembhard News: Elite defensive effort

Nembhard provided 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and six steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 125-108 victory over the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Nembhard was fantastic in the Game 6 win, playing elite defense, and limiting Jalen Brunson to just 19 points. The six steals marked a career high, coming just when the Pacers needed them the most. Although his offensive production can be a little unpredictable at times, he typically provides the team with a consistent defensive presence alongside Aaron Nesmith. Indiana will now face Oklahoma City in the NBA Finals, the first time the Pacers have reached the top of the mountain since 2000.
