Fred Katz reports that the Pacers defeated the Knicks 114-109, taking a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, with Pascal Siakam leading the way with 39 points. Jalen Brunson scored 36 for the Knicks, but their starting lineup struggled, being outscored significantly. Game 3 is set for Sunday night in Indianapolis, and the Pacers’ reliance on Siakam’s performance has been noted, as he alone scored a large portion of the team’s points during crucial moments.
