A miraculous Game 1 comeback by the Indiana Pacers (or choke job by the New York Knicks) put the higher seed on notice. After Friday's 114-109 loss in Game 2, the Knicks are officially on the ropes and headed on the road.

Pascal Siakam exploded for 39 points as the Indiana Pacers beat the New York Knicks 114-109 on Friday night to open up a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.

If you find yourself in a hole, you should probably stop digging. The New York Knicks are in the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2000. They won 51 games this season — the most any Knicks team has won since 2011-12.
