Pacers on the way to the finals: Siakam shines with 39 points!

The Indiana Pacers picked up an important win in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals. On May 24, 2025, they won game two against the New York Knicks 114:109, taking a big step towards the NBA Finals.

The game took place at Madison Square Garden, where New York fans were once again disappointed. With this result, the Knicks suffer their second consecutive defeat in the best-of-seven series. Statistically speaking, there has never been a case in which an NBA team was down 2-0 after the first two home games in the conference finals and was able to turn the series around.

Individual peak performance

Pascal Siakam was particularly outstanding, not only setting a new personal playoff record with 39 points, but also standing out as the game's best scorer. Jalen Brunson from the Knicks was also instrumental in the action with 36 points and 11 assists, but cannot prevent the defeat.

In the decisive fourth quarter, the Pacers proved their superiority and showed themselves to be the more cold-blooded team. This could have a lasting impact on the outcome of the series, especially with Indiana leading 2-0.
