Watch: Pascal Siakam scores 20 points in seven minutes

Game 2 was slipping away from the Indiana Pacers. Then Pascal Siakam took over.

With the Pacers trailing by 11 points, Siakam scored all 10 of Indiana's final points in the final 2:38 of the half. Then he scored 10 more points in the first 4:05 of the third quarter.

Through three quarters, Siakam shot 12-for-16 from the field, making both of his three-pointers and totaling 26 points. But his efficient scoring has been an outlier for the Pacers in Game 2, as the rest of the team was only 7-for-21 from deep.

"Spicy P" heated up. But he'll need his ice-cold teammates to catch fire if Indiana wants to avoid a 0-2 deficit in this series.
