If the New York Knicks fail to recover in the Eastern Conference Final, they're going to be seeing visions of Pascal Siakam in their dreams throughout the offseason. Indiana's star forward torched the Knicks inside Madison Square Garden throughout Friday's scintillating performance in Game 2 as the Pacers took a commanding lead in the series behind Siakam's playoff-best 39 points.

The Knicks ended up blowing a 3-1 series lead. Now there is 2025, the Knicks blowing that 14-point lead with 2:39 left in Game 1, unable to recover in overtime. Who knows how Game 2 goes had the Knicks closed out Game 1?

The New York Knicks have dropped the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals at home to the Indiana Pacers. After a wild Game 1 between the two sides, Game 2 was much more tightly-contested, but the Pacers were able to come out with a big win.

Pascal Siakam scored 39 points to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 114-109 road win over the New York Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday evening.

Rick Carlisle turned to little-used reserve big man Tony Bradley for a couple of brief stints to combat Mitchell Robinson’s athleticism on the boards.

Following his impressive performance on Friday night, Brunson has entered LeBron James and Michael Jordan territory. He became the fourth player with five or more 35-point and 10-assist games in the playoffs. James, Jordan, and Jerry West are the only other players to accomplish that feat.
