1:42am, 25 May 2025【Basketball】
According to recent reports from US Sports F/W. The Indiana Pacers led the New York Knicks 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals at Madison Square Garden, 114-109. The Pacers took home advantage in Game 1 and now dominate the series after winning two games in New York.
Siakam played for the Pacers with 39 points (15-23 FG), 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. His partner Halliburton struggled to shoot but still performed well, scoring 14 points (5-16 FG), eight rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals. Six Pacers players scored double digits that night, which was a great team effort. The Knicks are a favorite in this series, but the Pacers are now in control. NBA fans have some interesting reactions after this game.
"Carlisle directed the circle around Thibodeau in Game 1. Siakam led the Pacers to win in Game 2. Championship experience is important," a fan believes that championship experience defines the series.
"The Knicks won't recover from that game," another believed the first game defeat destined the Knicks.
"The media really tries to downplay Siakam" A fan accused the media of not giving Siakam the respect it deserves.
"The Knicks looked like an empty shell for the team that played against the Celtics. It was thanks to the Pacers, and at this point they looked like they should make it to the Finals," said a fan, who thought the Knicks were far less performing than they did against the Boston Celtics.
"Brunson is trying everything, but he can't do it alone. The Knicks are in trouble," a fan sympathized with Jaylen Brunson, who went all out that night. ”
Brunson was good again with the Knicks. After 43 points in Game 1, he scored 36 points (13-27 FG), 3 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal in the loss. He hit big balls again and again in the fourth quarter to keep the Knicks within the attack distance. Brunson scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, but he did missed a three-pointer, which could have tied the game to 112 with less than 10 seconds left. However, you can’t be too harsh for missing the two-time All-Star player, as he is by far the best offensive player in the series.
Bridges did provide Brunson with 10 in the fourth quarter. The support of points, but that wasn't enough. Bridges scored 20 points (9-18 FG), 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals against the Pacers. As for Towns, he ended up spending much more time on the bench than you might think. Towns had no foul trouble, but still played only 28 minutes in Game 2. He scored 20 points (6-14 FG) and 7 rebounds in this loss. Hart, who won the Playing Time Leader Award this season, also played only 29 minutes. Leaving both Towns and Hart on the bench for about 20 Minutes were a major decision by Knicks head coach Thibodeau. This decision didn't work considering they failed to win.
The Knicks are now in a must-win area because no team has ever reversed a 3-0 trail. If they lost Game 3 at the Gambridge Arena, the series is almost over. Do you think the Pacers can eliminate the Knicks at home to advance to the finals?
