The New York Knicks won’t back down, and they just won’t stop fighting.
It hasn’t been easy or pretty at all, but all that matters is that they’re now traveling to Indianapolis with a 2-0 series lead over the Indiana Pacers.
They had an elite clutch-time performance in Game 1 and followed that with a stout performance in the second half of Game 2 to hang onto this lead.
Things got particularly complicated for Tim Thibodeau’s team this time, as Jalen Brunson left the floor in the first quarter with a sore foot and was questionable to return.
He eventually made his way back to the court to start the second half and showed no signs of injury or discomfort.
Following the win, the talented point guard simply claimed that his team ‘found a way’ to get the job done (Via NBA on TNT).
“We found a way. That’s it”

The Pacers led by as many as 12 points at one point and had a double-digit lead at halftime.
The Knicks came out firing in the final 24 minutes, winning the third quarter by 18 points and then taking care of business in the clutch, just like they’ve done throughout the course of the entire playoffs.
Donte DiVincenzo hit multiple big shots, and Josh Hart’s unmatched energy on the offensive boards helped this gritty team get another win.
And it’ll take another massive team effort to keep the ball rolling in Game 3, as OG Anunoby left with an injury of his own and his status is up in the air.
