The New York Knicks fought valiantly against the Indiana Pacers, coming back from a 10-point deficit to lose narrowly, 114-109, in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 36 points but missed a critical three-pointer that could have tied the game. The Knicks' defensive lapses were crucial; they let Pascal Siakam score 39 points and struggled to guard against the Pacers' three-point shooting, which was a significant factor in their defeat. Coach Tom Thibodeau may consider changes to the starting lineup as the Knicks head to Indiana for Game 3, facing the pressure of being down 2-0 in the series.
