Jalen Brunson scored 43 points, becoming the fourth player in NBA history with four consecutive 40-point postseason games, and the first with four straight games of 40+ points and 5+ assists.
While Brunson excelled, Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton struggled, raising questions about his selection for Team USA's Olympic roster over Brunson.
Despite Pacers' bench outscoring Knicks', Brunson received significant support from Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart in the Knicks' victory over Indiana.
Haliburton acknowledged the need to improve for Game 2, emphasizing personal responsibility for his performance and downplaying the Knicks' defensive efforts against him.
