Pascal Siakam scored 39 points, a career playoff high, leading the Indiana Pacers to a 114-109 win over the New York Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night at Madison Square Garden. It is the first time in franchise history the Knicks have lost the first two games of a playoff series at home.

With the Knicks gripping for life down the stretch, the former Raptor went to work again. As he does so often after a Haliburton rebound, Siakam sprinted the floor to get by Knicks forward Mikal Bridges. The star received the pass from Haliburton and converted on a fastbreak layup, which was his 39th point, a playoff career-high.
