Knicks Fall to the Pacers in Game 2
After a devastating loss in Game 1, the Knicks were looking to even the score. However, the Indiana Pacers came out ready to fight and were just too much for New York to overcome.
The Pacers won 114-109, marking this the first time the Knicks have lost the first two games of a playoff series at home in franchise history.
Pascal Siakam finished with a playoff-career high 39 points, followed by 14 points from Tyrese Haliburton and 16 from Myles Turner, along with 12 from Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith each.
The Pacers now have the opportunity to close out the series in front of a home crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Ben Stiller Reacts To Tyrese Haliburton’s Game 1 Heroics
In Game 1, the Knicks held a 14-point lead with just under three minutes remaining. However, the Pacers refused to submit defeat and battled back. At the buzzer, Tyrese Haliburton hit a game-tying three, sending the game to overtime.
But, Stiller wasn’t so sure that final play should have counted.
An account on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted the video of the shot, asking, “Did Tyrese Haliburton get away with a double dribble on the final play of regulation?
Stiller’s answer: “Quite obviously, and Bridges fouled him too. Knicks in 6”
After hitting that shot, Haliburton also made a choking gesture, referring to the Knicks blowing such a big lead.
Stiller also reacted to that.
“Sweet,” he wrote.

“Timothée Chalamet, I think we’re going to get him to a game,” Clark said in the clip. “Timmy, he’ll be here.”
