Basketball fans are hyped over the NBA Playoffs, and rightfully so. The dazzling clashes between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers have been so exciting and entertaining that even stars from the WNBA's Connecticut Sun are getting in on the fandom action. Tina Charles was among the players who offered their Eastern Conference Finals predictions when asked ahead of Game 4.
“Knicks! What you mean, ‘Knicks or Pacers?'” Sun icon Charles immediately exclaimed while arriving for their game against the Dallas Wings, jokingly offended by the question. “You already know who I'm going with, man! You already know!”
Guard Bria Hartley followed with her pick, quickly saying, “Ooh, Knicks, of course. I'm a New Yorker!” Olivia Nelson-Ododa came next, mulling over the two teams for a moment before answering, “Pacers.”
Jacy Sheldon explained her thought process behind her prediction, responding, “I got too many friends from New York, so I'm going to go with the Knicks,” with a laugh. Lastly, Haley Peters summed up the reasoning for her choice with a simple, “I'm from New Jersey. Knicks.”

Besides Nelson-Ododa, the Sun players asked lean overwhelmingly in favor of the Knicks' comeback attempt, led by Karl-Anthony Towns. New York avoided the dreaded 3-0 series hole with a miraculous 106-100 win over Indiana in Game 3. However, the team wasn't able to keep up the momentum in Game 4 and dropped the ugly outing 130-121 while allowing Tyrese Haliburton to have a historic night.
Now that they're down 3-1, 5he Knicks are attempting to bounce back and even up the Eastern Conference Finals, while the Pacers are aiming to close the battle out in five. Luckily, the Empire State squad seems to have Sun players from its sister league on its side.
