Jalen Brunson had five points in the first half before he was sidelined with a foot injury for New York and they were down by as much as ten before the half to the Indiana Pacers.
But, when the second half resumed, Jalen returned and scored 24 points to lead the Knicks to a 130-121 win to hold serve in the Eastern Conference Semifinals with a 2-0 lead. Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton looks to have found his stroke with a game-high 34 points on 11-19 shooting from the court in the loss. The third quarter is what did in the Pacers in as they were outscored, 36-18 in the frame.
