The Knicks are down 0-1 in the series and they will be looking forward to facing the Pacers in Game 2 as they try to avoid an 0-2 hole in the series. Listen to the game online as it's live and free. Tipoff is a little after 7 p.m. ET, but you can start listening to the pregame as of 6 p.m. ET.
The Pacers have the leg up on the series. They also have a leg up with size advantage and that seems to be the worry for the Knicks in this matchup. Not that Mike Woodson is worried, but analysts believe the Knicks won't be able to match up with Pacers in height as Indiana possesses Lance Stephenson and Roy Hibbert in the paint.
Stephenson is listed as a guard, but he works like a forward crashing boards. He picked up a double-double as he finished Game 1 with 13 rebounds and 11 points. Hibbert had his way over Knick center Tyson Chandler as he scored 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
The Knicks key to victory is obvious, Carmelo Anthony can't score just 27 points. Granted, it's still a great game, Anthony made only 10 of 28 shots Sunday afternoon in Madison Square Garden. Raymond Felton has become a huge part of the offense as he scored 18 points on 8-12 shooting. Maybe he should start becoming more involved in scoring rather than setting up other players.
Kenyon Martin will be key for the Knicks as they will need his energy and toughness off the bench to matchup with the rest of the Pacers team. Though the Knicks might be the heavy favorite, the Pacers are the same young team that pushed the Miami Heat to six games in the conference semifinals in 2012. They are a physical team, like the Boston Celtics, but they have much more offensive weapons with George Hill at the point, David West playing scrappy basketball and Paul George knocking down shots.
