The Indiana Pacers outscored the New York Knicks 14-7 on fast break points in Game 2.
Pascal Siakam had 10 of those fast break points, outpacing the Knicks on the fast break by himself in a game decided by five points. pic.x.com/aM8G4vIKqK – 10:52 PM

Pretty cool hearing Green admit Siakam in ‘19 and Randle last round got the best of him – 10:48 PM

Incredible Siakam game to keep Indiana in it and then some playmaking stretches from TJ and Haliburton sealed it. Doesn’t feel like the series is over but the Knicks gotta clean up the defensive miscues because it feels like the Pacers punish every single one. – 10:42 PM

Knicks don’t use a timeout, Brunson misses a 3-pointer over Nesmith.
Pacers win 114-109 to return to Indy up 2-0.
Siakam was spectacular with a career-high 39pts and kept them in it in the 1st half. Brunson had 36/11a. – 10:38 PM

Pending Pascal Siakam’s and-one free throw with 6:59 left in the third quarter, the Knicks starting 5-man lineup is getting outscored by 18 points in Game 2 after getting outscored by 16 points in Game 1. – 9:37 PM

In a game the Knicks lead by 3 at halftime
Brunson/Towns are outscoring Haliburton/Siakam 29-25
And that’s with Pascal scoring 23 points – 9:27 PM

Pacers controlled the 1Q, Knicks the 2Q. Indy down 52-49 at half.
First half reminds me of the first two months of the Pacers’ season — where would they be without Siakam, who has 23pts on 9/14 shooting. Brunson has 17. – 9:10 PM

Good news for the Pacers is Siakam is locked in and has been outstanding. 21 of the Pacers’ 31pts..
Trouble is it’s only him. Haliburton hasn’t scored. Rest of team has a combined four FGs. – 8:47 PM

Knicks winning the extra-effort plays and +5 on the glass. Pacers led most of the 1Q, but are down 26-24.

Pacers’ 10-point lead evaporated in less than three minutes. Carlisle coming back with starters Nesmith and Siakam, plus TJM.

On a day in which everyone complained about the Knicks sticking with their starting lineup, that unit is currently getting outscored 11-6 by Pascal Siakam alone. – 8:11 PM

More on this storyline
Tony East: “He did everything,” Carlisle says of Siakam. “It’s hard to score that number of points in a game like this where you always have a physical matchup defensively… he did a phenomenal job. It was a quiet 39 points, it really was.” -via x.com / May 23, 2025
Tim Bontemps: Amid everything else that happened in 2019, it’s easy to forget that Pascal Siakam had 26 and 10 to close out an NBA Finals & win a title. That was a monster performance from Siakam tonight. 39 points on 15-for-23 shooting, and kept Indiana in it early when no one had it going. -via x.com / May 23, 2025
