Turning Madison Square Garden into a stronghold was a crucial condition to dream of victory, but the New York Knicks have collided with a team full of defensive and offensive arguments like the Indiana Pacers, capable of imposing their rhythm and winning both matches. With a score of 109-114, the team from Indianapolis has put the series well on track.
Speed with control, solid and seamless defense, accuracy from the three-point line, and impeccable decision-making. That's what Indiana Pacers brought to the table in the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals in the 2025 NBA playoffs. The game remained tied in a thrilling contest, but in crucial moments, the composure of Pascal Siakam on both ends of the court proved pivotal. The experienced forward's 39 points were decisive for a victory that turns the series on its head.

These New York Knicks couldn't imprint their style and pace of play, committing crucial turnovers and showing poor shooting percentages from the field (47.6%) and beyond the arc (34.4%). Towns and Bridges were the only ones capable of supporting the greatness of a Brunson whom the Pacers are consistently wearing down with defensive switches and defensive toughness. Indiana Pacers seize a tremendous haul from the Garden and take a giant step towards reaching the 2025 NBA Finals.
