In this episode, we break down Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers take a commanding 2-0 series lead after a clutch 114-109 win at Madison Square Garden. We dive into Pascal Siakam’s monster 39-point performance, how the Pacers’ fourth-quarter surge silenced the Garden, and why Jalen Brunson’s 36-point night wasn’t enough to save the Knicks. Plus, we talk about the critical moments that defined the game, adjustments both teams need to make, and what this loss means for New York as the series shifts to Indiana. Don’t miss our full Game 2 breakdown!

In one of the wildest playoff finishes in recent memory, the Indiana Pacers erased a 14-point deficit in under three minutes to steal Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals in overtime, beating the New York Knicks 138-135 at Madison Square Garden. Matt breaks down how Aaron Nesmith’s five late-game threes and Tyrese Haliburton’s buzzer-beater forced OT—and how the Knicks let a sure victory slip through their fingers. We analyze Jalen Brunson’s 43-point performance, Karl-Anthony Towns’ dominance, and why Obi Toppin’s revenge slam might haunt Knicks fans for years. Plus, we revisit the Reggie Miller parallels and preview what’s next in this suddenly epic series.

The New York Knicks just made history — and we’re breaking it all down! In this episode, we recap the Knicks’ dominant 119–81 win over the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals at Madison Square Garden. From Jalen Brunson’s leadership to Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby’s monster double-doubles, to Josh Hart’s triple-double brilliance, the Garden was rocking — and so are we.

We discuss how the Celtics unraveled without Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown fouling out, and the emotional weight of this loss for Boston. Plus, what this win means for New York basketball, what’s next for the Knicks as they head to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000, and how this series shapes the narrative for both franchises moving forward.

Tap in for everything you need to know from Game 6 — let’s go Knicks!
