The Indiana Pacers keep winning in weird ways, and that has helped take homecourt advantage from the New York Knicks in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.

Game 2 is Friday night, May 23, after a wild 138-135 overtime win in which the Pacers rallied from deficits of 17 points in the middle of the fourth quarter, 14 points in the final 3 minutes of regulation, 8 points in the final 40 seconds of the fourth, and 4 points early in overtime.

The Pacers defeated the Knicks in the second round of the 2024 NBA playoffs in seven games.
