Knicks vs. Pacers LIVE Game 2 Log

One week after securing the franchise's biggest victory in recent memory, the New York Knicks' reward is an attempt to secure another.

The Knicks will look to equalize the 2025 Eastern Conference Finals on Friday night, as they face off against the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden. Indiana leads the best-of-seven set 1-0 after Wednesday's thriller in Manhattan, one that saw Indiana erase a late, sizable Knicks lead en route to a 138-135 overtime triumph.

Wasted in the effort was a 43-point showing from Jalen Brunson and a 35-point, 12-rebound double-double for Karl-Anthony Towns. Tyrese Haliburton had 31 points to lead the victors, while Aaron Nesmith had 30 in a furious finale that saw him sink six three-pointers in the final period.

If the Knicks are going to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals, they'll have to end yet another dire streak: New York has not won a best-of-seven series after losing Game 1 since the 2000 conference semifinal against Miami.
