Second Quarter

As the second quarter unfolded, both teams continued to battle fiercely on both ends of the court. The Pacers managed to extend their lead by scoring another 28 points while limiting the Knicks to just 19 points in this period. Pascal Siakam's presence on both offense and defense was notable as he provided crucial support alongside Haliburton's consistent playmaking efforts. The Pacers' bench also contributed effectively during this stretch, adding valuable points that helped maintain their advantage.

Third Quarter

The third quarter saw a shift in momentum as the New York Knicks began to close in on Indiana's lead. Despite scoring only 22 points themselves, which marked a decrease from previous quarters for Indiana, they faced increased pressure from a resurgent Knicks team that put up 25 points during this period. Jalen Brunson emerged as a key player for New York with his dynamic offensive plays that challenged Indiana’s defense repeatedly.
