After a fourth-quarter collapse that led to an overtime loss for the New York Knicks, the team is back in action tonight against the Indiana Pacers for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
In Game 1, the Knicks blew a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter, ultimately losing the game in overtime by just three points thanks to a Tyrese Haliburton buzzer-beater. The Knicks enter tonight’s game with a must-win mindset; only six teams in NBA history have dropped both of the first two home games of a series and still advanced on.
