TEAM Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4 FINAL
IND 28 30 30 26 114
NY 22 31 29 40 122

Up 88-82 at the end of the third, the game could’ve went either way. However, we personally felt Indiana had the game within their grasp. The team never lost its lead until the fourth quarter, when New York’s offense fired off on all cylinders. They managed to tie the game with about seven minutes remaining, and in less than two minutes, took their first lead of the game.

Up 104-101 in the final five minutes, New York outscored Indiana 18-13, thanks to a pair of impressive performances from Jalen Brunson and Isaiah Hartenstein. With about 1:05 left, the Knicks all but sealed victory with a 118-106 lead. Indiana’s late game collapse cost them game 2, and potentially the series if they can’t pull it together.

In term of team stats, both teams shared relatively similar numbers. However, the Knicks earned more overall rebounds, as well as more points off turnovers. Despite the Pacers holding the ball more, New York’s offense made the most of their opportunities.

In terms of player performances, Brunson, Hartenstein, and Bogdan Bogdanovic all put up impressive stats. Brunson led the team in scoring (36 points), while also earning 9 assists and two steals in the win. Hartenstein led the team in rebounds (11), while also putting 22 points up on the board. Lastly, Bogdanovic scored 21 points, converting 5 of 9 three-point attempts.

As for the Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton put up the best performance for his team. Overall, he earned 29 points, 6 assists, and a steal and a block each. However, he was only able to convert three of eight three-point attempts and turned the ball over twice. The only other Pacer with a solid performance was Pascal Siakam, who scored 24 points. However, Siakam turned the ball over 4 times, leading the team in turnovers.

Additionally, check out some game stats:

With the win, New York now extends their lead in the series, now up 2-0. They now head to Indiana with a huge advantage, where losing one game away really won’t hurt the team. However, a swift 4-0 sweep would hopefully lead to less injury and stress for the team. Regardless, all focus now turns to Game 3, where the tides can still turn.

As for the Pacers, losing both games away really hurts both team and fan morale. Although the Pacers play at home in Game 3, they return with their heads down to a crowd that was hoping for more. However, who’s to say comebacks never happen? Perhaps a change in scenery and the trip back home will help the team overcome their struggles.

In terms of accuracy, we think the score seems fairly reasonable, considering the previous contest. However, we felt maybe the shot success percentages were just a tad too high. We’ve recently tried adjusting CPU sliders to balance shot conversion rates to create more accurate. However, we’ve also dealt with multiple game crashes when trying to create custom rosters to reflect injuries. We’ll continue to strive for more accurate simulations that are hopefully both entertaining and realistic.

Overall, that wraps up our Indiana Pacers vs. New York Knicks Game 2 Results according to NBA 2K24. We hope you enjoy watching our simulation, as well as the real game this Wednesday night.
