The Knicks left little doubt in Game 1 by shooting 51.9% from the floor and running past the Pacers (217-98) to build a quick 2-0 series lead. They are out to defend their home floor once more on Saturday night and to take a 2-0 lead into Indiana for a shot to seize control of the series. Pascal Siakam led the way with his 25 points and seven rebounds for an New York side that had six players score double-figure points.
The Pacers got 36 points from Giannis Antetokounmpo, but little else from their starting lineup with Damian Lillard sitting out due to injury. Indiana’s other four starters combined to score just 21 points on 5-of-21 shooting.
