00:00Game 2 between the Pacers and the Knicks Eastern Conference Finals.
00:06How would these two teams top what we saw in Game 1?
00:10An absolute stunner with the Pacers coming back late and winning in overtime.
00:16Well, early on, it's Indiana going to work.
00:18Tyrese Halliburton, the no-look pass here to Pascal Siakam.
00:24He set the tone early on in this game.
00:26Siakam was so aggressive, so good for Indiana right out of the gate.
00:32Jalen Brunson doing his thing, dropping the three.
00:36And then Brunson working the two-man game with OG Ananobi.
00:42Ananobi, 16 points in this game.
00:44New York up by two.
00:46Back to Siakam we go.
00:48Step-back jumper plus the lucky bounce.
00:51You can give him a foul there too.
00:53So he went to the line, would make the free throw.
00:55Mitchell Robinson, always an X-factor and was in Game 2.
01:01Off the miss.
01:03Long board going to Carl Anthony Towns.
01:06He had 20 in the game.
01:09Brunson, and Reggie Miller called it on the broadcast, said that shot right there is just unguardable.
01:15When Jalen Brunson backs into you, gets that fadeaway to go.
01:19Way too open here for Tyrese Halliburton in the third.
01:23Brunson, pull up three.
01:26We're tied at 70.
01:28Later in the third, TJ McConnell.
01:31Back to Siakam.
01:34Pascal Siakam has had some great playoff games.
01:38When you go back to his Toronto days also.
01:40But this was a career high for him.
01:43We'll get to that in just a second.
01:45And that is Brunson, tying it at 81.
01:49Ben Shepard off the bench.
01:51He had six points.
01:53And then McConnell to Siakam.
01:56This is an 11-2 run by Indiana.
02:00They're up 94-85.
02:04McHale Bridges.
02:05He drops a floater.
02:09It's a three-point game.
02:11Then Halliburton finding Miles Turner.
02:13This shot huge down the stretch.
02:16He had 16.
02:17Brunson going to miss the three.
02:19Halliburton in transition to Siakam, who had a career playoff high.
02:2539 points.
02:26Indiana up by 10.
02:27But New York, they had one last rally.
02:30And it was Brunson leading the way.
02:32Hits a three.
02:33Then Brunson.
02:34Check this out.
02:36Physical defender and Aaron Neesmith on him.
02:39Somehow gets that to go.
02:41Incredible shot by Jalen Brunson.
02:45And from there, follows it up.
02:48You thought he might pull up for that three.
02:50But finds Josh Hart inside.
02:51So it's a one-point game.
02:53Indiana up 110-109.
02:56Neesmith makes two free throws.
02:58Brunson now for the tie with the Knicks down by three from way deep.
03:02Does not go.
03:04And just like that, the Garden once again stunned.
03:08As the Indiana Pacers have a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.
