Pacers take 2-0 lead over Knicks as Pascal Siakam scores 39 points in 114-109 victory

The Indiana Pacers secured a 2-0 advantage in the Eastern Conference finals by edging out the New York Knicks with a 114-109 win on Friday evening.
The Pacers improved their defense and rebounded from a crushing collapse in Game 1, while the Knicks struggled to find enough scoring in the fourth quarter.
Pascal Siakam recorded a playoff career-best 39 points for Indiana, with Myles Turner contributing 16 points and Tyrese Haliburton adding 14 points alongside 11 assists and eight rebounds.
Jalen Brunson scored 36 points with 11 assists for the Knicks, but their first conference finals appearance in 25 years requires a quick turnaround to avoid an early exit.
Game 3 is scheduled Sunday in Indiana, where the Pacers, having won six straight road games, aim to maintain momentum despite coach Carlisle's warning about potential series traps.
