Things were looking bleak for the New York Knicks when Jalen Brunson, their MVP all season, didn’t play the entire second quarter due to injury. But when Brunson returned in the second half, the Knicks returned to form to defeat the Indiana Pacers in Game 2, 130-121, to take a two-game lead in their second round series in the NBA Playoffs. New York battled back from 10 points down at halftime thanks to Brunson’s efforts.
The Knicks would end up destroying the Pacers in the third quarter, 36-18, to retake the lead heading into the fourth. And while the Pacers were relentless, Brunson and the Knicks continued to do what they do best: get the ball in the hands of their star point guard, grab offensive rebounds and close out big games. Now, while Brunson did return, the Knicks didn’t leave this game without some bad injury news.
