The Indiana Pacers evened their playoff series with a 100-106 loss to the New York Knicks on Monday, May 26, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Despite the home-court advantage, the Pacers could not contain a balanced Knicks attack that saw five players score in double figures. The game was a defensive battle through three quarters, with the Pacers holding a narrow lead. However, the Knicks exploded for a 15-2 run to start the fourth quarter, spearheaded by their point guard's playmaking and timely steals. Indiana's star guard fought valiantly, recording a near triple-double, but the team's shooting went cold at critical moments. The series, now tied, set up a pivotal Game 3, with the Knicks successfully reclaiming home-court advantage with this important road win.
