Siakam set a new high of 39 points, the strongest game in his playoff career.

In the second game of the NBA playoff Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers beat the Knicks 114-109, winning a hard-earned victory. The Pacers were behind for a while in the first half, but in the second half they stalked and successfully turned the situation around. Although he was approached by the Knicks again when he was leading the double digits, the Pacers still stabilized their position at the last moment and successfully saved the victory.

The performance of two players in this game was perfect, and Siakam performed particularly well. He showed extremely high efficiency in both conversion offense and 3-point shooting. He made 15 of 23 shots in the game, scoring 39 points alone. It is worth noting that he only played for 32 minutes, but became the team's most solid backing.

, and Turner turned into a surprise soldier in the final quarter. Although he only scored 3 points in the first three quarters, he suddenly broke out and scored 13 points in the final quarter. He performed well in defense and offense at the basket, and his plus or negative values ​​rank first in the team.

In addition, Nemhard, Nesmith, McConnell and Sheppard also passed the exam. Although their status is not high and their annual salary is not very generous, they always maintain a stable output on the court. Nemhard and Nesmith scored 24 points together, which was extremely efficient. Nesmith, especially, his defense against Brunson was quite successful. McConnell showed his all-round talent in scoring and passing. He contributed 10 points and 4 assists within 14 minutes and successfully completed the substitute task. Shebold completed the rotation task with 2 of 3 shots and 1 assist.

However, there were also several players' performances not satisfactory, Halliburton's form was still sluggish, with only 5 of 16 shots in the game, scoring 14 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals. Although the data is comprehensive, the plus or negative values ​​are the lowest in the first place. Topin's performance was also slightly bleak, making 2 of 6 shots, not making much contribution on both offense and defense. The performance of marginal players such as Bradley, Mathering and Thomas Bryant is even more unremarkable, with their output being minimal and having little substantial help to the team.
