The Indiana Pacers will host Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals against the New York Knicks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday, May 25.

The Indiana Pacers, starting their final round campaign with a commanding 138-135 overtime win, posted another significant victory in their recent clash with 114-109. Pascal Siakam’s majestic playoff career-high 39 points and Tyrese Haliburton’s consistency, including a triple-double, helped the team secure a 2-0 lead. However, Myles Turner added steady support as the Pacers secured their sixth straight road win.

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks are struggling in the final round, including the last defeat at their home court with 109-114. Despite Jalen Brunson’s 36 points and 11 assists, the team couldn’t bounce back facing a 2-0 deficit against the Pacers. While Mikal Bridges and Karl Anthony Towns added 20 each, though Towns played limited minutes as coach Tom Thibodeau favored Mitchell Robinson’s defense. Improved defense was not enough as a poor fourth quarter proved costly for the Knicks.

The upcoming game three is set to be a significant matchup as the series shifts to Indiana. The Pacers will look to maintain their momentum with their consistent key player, Tyrese Haliburton’s playmaking, and Pascal Siakam’s potent offense. However, Myles Turner’s interior presence will be crucial at home. Jalen Brunson will need another standout performance for the Knicks, supported by contributions from Karl Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges’ effective game. Defensive improvement can swing their fate in the upcoming road game to avoid elimination.
