2024 NBA Playoffs Day 19 Recap: Shorthanded Knicks overcome Pacers
The shorthanded New York Knicks overcame adversity throughout the game against the Indiana Pacers to grind out a tough win in Game 2 of their best-of-seven series on Day 19 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs on Wednesday night.
Already without Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson, and Bojan Bogdanovic, the Knicks lost Jalen Brunson in the 2nd quarter with a sore left foot and OG Anunoby late in the 4th with a sore left hamstring.
However, that did not deter New York at all as they got contributions from different players including Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, and Isaiah Hartenstein. Brunson then made a comeback in the 2nd half to push the Knicks to a 2-0 series lead.
