Siakam shines as Pacers double lead
Bangkok Post
|May 25, 2025
>>NEW YORK: The irrepressible Indiana Pacers opened up a 2-0 lead over the New York Knicks in the Eastern Confer- ence finals with a 114-109 win at Madi- son Square Garden on Friday.
-
The series now moves to Indianapolis with the Pacers in control after Pascal Siakam led them with a playoff careerhigh 39 points.
Cameroonian Siakam was well-supported though with all the Indiana starters making double figures.
Myles Turner put up 16 points while Tyrese Haliburton had 14 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds. Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard had 12 points each and TJ McConnell added 10 from the bench.
It was a different game to the high-scoring Game One where Indiana looked dead and buried before an astonishing comeback from 14 points down late in the game, forcing overtime before triumphing.
The Knicks showed some resilience fighting back in the fourth quarter from ten points down to make it a one point game before the Pacers closed out the contest.
