The Indiana Pacers continue to play at an incredibly high level this postseason. The Pacers won Game 2 114-109, thanks to Pascal Siakam‘s 39 points.

The Pacers’ dominant 2-0 series lead is even more impressive, considering both wins came in New York. With the series shifting to Indiana for the next two games—and the way the Pacers are playing—this series could be over in four games.

Last offseason the New York Knicks took a gamble and traded away their future for Mikal Bridges to win a championship. They also traded Randle to aquire KAT. 2 games into the ECF and the Knicks find themselves down 2-0 to the Indiana Pacers pic.twitter.com/sq3Mht44tv

They fully took home court advantage that’s crazy this series is over if they just win 1 game at home

The Pacers truly are playing at a champion level. If they continue with this confident level of play, they could easily upset any team from the Western Conference.
