Reese, Kmac and Alex preview tonight's OKC vs Minnesota Game 2 matchup and discuss the Knicks loss to the Pacers last night.
Last night, the New York Knicks suffered a stunning 138-135 overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Knicks held a commanding 14-point lead with just 2:39 remaining in regulation but faltered in the final minutes, allowing the Pacers to force overtime and eventually secure the victory.
Tyrese Haliburton played a pivotal role, sending the game into overtime. In the extra period, the Pacers outscored the Knicks 13-6.
Despite strong performances from Jalen Brunson (43 points) and Karl-Anthony Towns (35 points, 12 rebounds), the Knicks' late-game collapse overshadowed their efforts. The loss marks a historic playoff meltdown. The Knicks will look to rebound in Game 2, which is scheduled for Friday at Madison Square Garden.
The Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Minnesota Timberwolves 114-88 in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals Tuesday night. Despite entering the game on just two days' rest, the Thunder showcased a strong second-half performance to secure the victory. The Timberwolves will look to tie the series tonight in Game 2 at 8:30 PM in Oklahoma City. Who will win tonight? Who will win the series?
