The Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks hook up for Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinals. If you can't watch the game, join us for the live blog where we will bring scoring updates, stats, commentary and anything that happens in tonight's game.
The Pacers surprised a few with their Game 1 victory. However, they're defense and offense clicked as they defeated the Knicks 102-95. Their starting five and D.J. Augustin off the bench finished with double figures in points in this game. Augustin provided a huge burst off the bench as he popped 4-5 threes finishing with 16 points. David West broke through with a team-high 20 points scored.
For the Knicks, Carmelo Anthony did the usual, carrying the load and scoring 27 points in Game 1. However, the cause of concern with Anthony was his shooting percentage, which loomed around 33 percent. J.R. Smith's shooting is simply horrible, he chipped in 17 points, but shot just 4-15 from the floor.
The Knicks will also have to sink more threes if they are expecting to make a difference in this game. The referees let the boys play and there was a lot of contact down by the paint. The Pacers did a great job clogging lanes making it hard for Anthony to finish at the basket.
Join us, ask questions and interact in the discussion section at the bottom of the article. It's Game 2 of this series. Who do you have winning?
The Knicks will have to size up and will need their bench to play a bigger role and bring their energy to play against this active and young Pacers team that is looking forward to playing in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Tipoff is at 7 p.,m. ET from Madison Square Garden.
