The Pacers, riding high after a spectacular performance, have now taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the series, leaving the Knicks in a precarious position at home.
As the clock ticked down, the tension in Madison Square Garden was palpable. The Knicks, down by five points, rallied with a furious nine-point run led by Jalen Brunson, who once again showcased his clutch play. But as the game reached its climax, Indiana’s Miles Turner stepped up, hitting crucial free throws and pushing the Pacers’ lead to four as the arena fell silent with apprehension.
