The New York Knicks pulled off a stunning comeback victory in Game 2 of their second-round series against the Indiana Pacers, with Jalen Brunson leading the charge. Despite battling an injury that forced him to sit out the second quarter, Brunson returned in the second half to rally the Knicks to a 112-105 win.
Brunson put on a stellar performance, finishing the game with 29 points, 5 assists, and 3 steals. His return sparked a surge in energy at Madison Square Garden, as fans roared with excitement when he re-entered the game. The momentum shifted in favor of the Knicks, who outscored the Pacers by 15 points in the third quarter alone.
The victory was even more impressive considering the Knicks’ injury woes, with OG Anunoby leaving the game due to a hamstring injury and Mitchell Robinson likely out for the remainder of the playoffs. However, other players like Donte DiVincenzo and Isaiah Hartenstein stepped up to fill the void and contribute to the team’s success.
With the series now heading to Indianapolis, the Pacers find themselves down two games to none against a resilient Knicks team. Despite the challenges they have faced, the Knicks have shown remarkable depth and perseverance in overcoming injuries to keep their playoff dreams alive. Fans can only wait in anticipation to see if the Knicks can continue their impressive run in the postseason.
