In a game the Knicks lead by 3 at halftime
Brunson/Towns are outscoring Haliburton/Siakam 29-25
And that’s with Pascal scoring 23 points – 9:27 PM

Pacers controlled the 1Q, Knicks the 2Q. Indy down 52-49 at half.
First half reminds me of the first two months of the Pacers’ season — where would they be without Siakam, who has 23pts on 9/14 shooting. Brunson has 17. – 9:10 PM

Good news for the Pacers is Siakam is locked in and has been outstanding. 21 of the Pacers’ 31pts..
Trouble is it’s only him. Haliburton hasn’t scored. Rest of team has a combined four FGs. – 8:47 PM

Pacers’ 10-point lead evaporated in less than three minutes. Carlisle coming back with starters Nesmith and Siakam, plus TJM.
Tied at 19. – 8:27 PM

On a day in which everyone complained about the Knicks sticking with their starting lineup, that unit is currently getting outscored 11-6 by Pascal Siakam alone. – 8:11 PM

Turner’s jump pass to Siakam for a layup was vintage Rick Barry. Nobody pulled it off more often or as effectively as Barry… – 9:48 PM

More on this storyline
Ian Begley: Indiana takes a 2-0 lead over the Knicks behind 39 points on 15-for-29 shooting from Pascal Siakam. Teams who’ve taken a 2-0 series lead in the conference finals are 76-6, per TNT broadcast. I don’t have the exact number, but Knicks starters were a net negative as a unit again in Game 2. Entering play tonight, the Knick starting five was a combined -68 in the postseason. -via x.com / May 23, 2025
Tim Bontemps: Amid everything else that happened in 2019, it’s easy to forget that Pascal Siakam had 26 and 10 to close out an NBA Finals & win a title. That was a monster performance from Siakam tonight. 39 points on 15-for-23 shooting, and kept Indiana in it early when no one had it going. -via x.com / May 23, 2025
Added Pascal Siakam, “He’s a tough cover and he’s been doing it for a long time. Every series, he just finds a way to get the ball in the bucket.” -via Sports Illustrated / May 23, 2025
