How to Watch Pacers vs Knicks Game 2:Date: Friday, May 23, 2025Time: 8:00 PM ETChannel: TNTStream: Sling (WATCH NOW)

The Knicks blew a sizeable four-quarter lead in Game 1 as the Pacers came storming back to win 138-135 in overtime.

Much like New York did to the Celtics in the first two games of their previous series, Indiana gave them a taste of their own medicine by pulling off the comeback on the road. Tyrese Haliburton may have established himself as a bona fide superstar in this league with his game-tying shot as time expired in the fourth quarter. Haliburton finished the night with 31 points and a game-high 11 assists.

The stars came to play for the Knicks as Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns combined to score 78 points, but a late-game drought did them in in Game 1. They must now bounce back in order to avoid going down 2-0 in the series before heading back to Indiana.

If the Pacers can pull off another upset, they will be in a prime position to win the series and advance to the NBA Finals.

This is a great Eastern Conference Finals matchup that will not disappoint; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
