PACERS WIN AGAIN AT MSG TO TAKE 2-0 LEAD OVER KNICKS
NEW YORK (AP) — The Indiana Pacers are headed home, halfway to a chance to play for an elusive NBA title.
They might prefer to stay right where they are.
Pascal Siakam scored a playoff career-high 39 points, and the Pacers beat the New York Knicks 114-109 on Friday night for a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
Game 3 is Sunday night in Indiana, which will be rocking all day long with the Indianapolis 500 being run that afternoon. The Pacers can only hope to be as good there as they’ve been on the road, where they have won six straight games since falling at Milwaukee in Game 3 of the first round.
“We have a long way to go and it’s only going to get tougher for us,” Siakam said.
Myles Turner added 16 points and Tyrese Haliburton had 14 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds for the Pacers, who lost to the Lakers in 2000 in their only NBA Finals appearance.
Siakam finished 15 for 23 from the field on a night nobody else on the high-scoring Pacers had more than five baskets.
“Special game,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. “In the first half he was the guy that got us going and got us through some difficult stretches.”
Jalen Brunson had 36 points and 11 assists for the Knicks, who need a quick turnaround or their first appearance in the conference finals in 25 years will be a brief one. They defended much better after their crushing collapse in a 138-135 overtime loss in Game 1, but couldn’t find enough scoring to come back after a bad start to the fourth quarter.
Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns each had 20 points and seven rebounds for the Knicks, but Towns played just 28 minutes as coach Tom Thibodeau went longer with backup Mitchell Robinson, a much better defender who grabbed nine rebounds.
No team has lost the first two games at home and come back to win a series in the conference finals.
“Going into the fourth quarter it’s a tie ballgame. We’ve just got to make better plays, more winning plays,” Thibodeau said.
It was tied at 81 after three, before the Pacers opened the fourth with a 13-4 run to move ahead 94-85 on Siakam’s 3-pointer with 9:17 remaining. They would quickly push the margin back to around there every time the Knicks got any momentum, and it was 110-100 after another basket by Siakam with 2:45 to play.
The Knicks scored nine straight to make it 110-109 on Josh Hart’s basket with 14 seconds to go. Aaron Nesmith made two free throws for the Pacers, Brunson was well off on a 3-point attempt and Turner finished it out with two free throws.
The 50th playoff meeting between the rivals — the Pacers lead 28-22, all since 1993 — more closely resembled their defensive battles of the 1990s than the shootout of two nights earlier.
Indiana raced to a 19-9 lead, but the Knicks quickly caught them when Robinson and Deuce McBride entered and the game remained within a single-digit margin nearly the entire rest of the night.
GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER, JOKIC, ANTETOKOUNMPO, TATUM, MITCHELL ALL-NBA 1ST TEAM. LEBRON, 40, IS 2ND TEAM
Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Denver’s Nikola Jokic and Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo were the only players to appear on every MVP ballot this season.
It only made sense that they would be unanimous All-NBA picks as well.
Gilgeous-Alexander — the league’s MVP — along with Jokic and Antetokounmpo were unveiled Friday night as first-team All-NBA players, along with Boston’s Jayson Tatum and Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell.
Tatum was another unanimous first-team pick. Mitchell made the first team for the first time.
Antetokounmpo has seven first-team selections and nine appearances on the All-NBA team overall. Jokic is a five-time first-teamer and seven-time All-NBA pick, Tatum is first-team for the fourth time (fifth overall), Gilgeous-Alexander has been first-team in all three of his All-NBA appearances, and Mitchell is All-NBA for the second time in his career.
Gilgeous-Alexander, Jokic, Antetokounmpo and Tatum were all first-teamers last season as well.
Second team
LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers is an All-NBA player for the 21st time in 22 seasons. He made the second team.
Also on the second team: Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards, Cleveland’s Evan Mobley, Golden State’s Stephen Curry and New York’s Jalen Brunson.
Curry made All-NBA for the 11th time, something only 21 players in NBA history have done. Edwards and Brunson are two-time All-NBA players, and Mobley made a team for the first time.
Third team
Detroit’s Cade Cunningham, Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton, the Los Angeles Clippers’ James Harden, New York’s Karl-Anthony Towns and Oklahoma City’s Jalen Williams were named to the third team.
Harden is an eight-time selection, Towns is a three-time pick, Haliburton made a team for the second time and Cunningham and Williams both are All-NBA for the first time.
All 100 ballots
Eight players appeared on every ballot. Antetokounmpo, Gilgeous-Alexander, Jokic and Tatum all got 100 first-team votes.
Mitchell got 61 first-team votes, 35 second-team and four third-team. Edwards got 11 first-team, 87 second-team and two third-team. Curry got two first-team, 68 second-team and 30 third-team. And Brunson got two first-team, 62 second-team and 36 third-team.
James and Cunningham were on 99 of 100 ballots.
Giannis: The people’s choice, again
For the eighth consecutive year, Antetokounmpo was listed on every All-NBA ballot. That’s the longest active run in the NBA.
The last time an All-NBA ballot was sent to the league without Antetokounmpo’s name listed was 2017, when four of the 100 voters didn’t rank him among the league’s top players.
Since then: 799 ballots cast, 799 listing Antetokounmpo.
Jokic appeared on every All-NBA ballot for the fifth consecutive year; it would be six in a row if he hadn’t fallen one vote short of unanimous status in 2020. Jayson Tatum was on every All-NBA ballot for the fourth consecutive season.
LeBron: The first at 40
James is the first 40-year-old to make an All-NBA team — he turned 40 in December.
James has 13 first-team appearances, four second-team selections and four third-team nods.
No other player has more than 15 All-NBA selections. Kobe Bryant (11 first-team picks), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (10 first-team picks) and Tim Duncan (10 first-team picks) are the other members of the 15-time club.
Awards season
The release of the All-NBA teams wrapped up awards season in the league. A global panel of 100 writers and broadcasters sent their votes to the NBA before the playoffs started.
Those awards voted on by the panel included Gilgeous-Alexander winning MVP, Cleveland’s Kenny Atkinson winning coach of the year, Atlanta’s Dyson Daniels winning most improved player, San Antonio’s Stephon Castle winning rookie of the year, Mobley winning defensive player of the year, Brunson winning clutch player of the year, and Boston’s Payton Pritchard winning sixth man of the year.
Also chosen by that panel: the All-NBA team, along with the All-Defensive team and All-Rookie team.
There were other awards chosen through various other voting processes, including Oklahoma City’s Sam Presti winning executive of the year, Boston’s Jrue Holiday winning the social justice award and the sportsmanship award, Curry winning the Twyman-Stokes teammate of the year award, and Golden State’s Draymond Green winning the hustle award.

OILERS EVEN SERIES WITH SHUTOUT WIN OVER STARS IN GAME 2
DALLAS (AP) — Connor Brown scored after getting hit in the mouth by a skate, Stuart Skinner made 25 saves for his third shutout of the postseason and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Dallas Stars 3-0 in Game 2 on Friday night to even the Western Conference final.
Brown put the Oilers up 3-0 with 4:37 left in the second period, connecting 1:13 after defenseman Brett Kulak’s deflection for his first goal in 36 games since Feb. 27.
It was early in the second period when officials stopped play with Brown bleeding after taking the toe of Mikael Granlund’s skate when the Stars forward fell down by him near the boards.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had another power-play goal for the Oilers, who go home for Game 3 on Sunday after avoiding an 0-2 start on the road for the second time this postseason.
Skinner has four career playoff shutouts, He closed out the second round with consecutive shutouts against Vegas.
Dallas’ Jake Oettinger stopped 22 shots.
Stars forward Roope Hintz left the ice without putting any weight on his left leg after Edmonton defender Darnell Nurse slashed him on top of his left skate early in the third. Hintz went down to the ice in front of the Edmonton net, and immediately reached toward his foot. Nurse was given a minor penalty for slashing after officials reviewed for a potential major penalty.
Nugent-Hopkins, who also had the primary assist on Brown’s goal, put the Oilers ahead to stay 5:51 into the game when had a tip-in Evan Bouchard’s shot from above the right circle that was wobbling toward the net after going off the stick of Hintz. Edmonton had the man advantage after a boarding penalty against Granlund.
It was the second game in a row that Nugent-Hopkins had a power-play goal. He had in a Game 4 win last year when the Oilers went on to beat Dallas in six games in the West final.
Leon Draisaitl had the secondary assist on that goal, and Connor McDavid had a helper on the Kulak’s goal. That pushed Draisaitl and McDavid, 100-point scorers during the regular season, to 20 points in these playoffs — matching Stars forward Mikko Rantanen for the league high.
It is the fourth 20-point postseason in a row for McDavid, matching the longest stretch in NHL history with Sergei Fedorov (1995-1998), Bryan Trottier (1980-1983) and Mike Bossy (1980-1983). Draisaitl hit the 20-point mark for the second year in a row.

MLB ROUNDUP: RAFAEL DEVERS (8 RBIS), RED SOX POUND ORIOLES 19-5
Rafael Devers had a career-high eight RBIs between the sixth and eighth innings to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 19-5 win over the visiting Baltimore Orioles in what was scheduled to be the first game of a Friday day-night doubleheader.
Instead, the night game was postponed, and the teams will play a doubleheader Saturday.
The Red Sox untied a 2-2 game in the midst of a five-run sixth inning, which Devers (4-for-6) punctuated with a three-run home run. The doors were not blown off, though, until all nine Boston batters came to the plate twice in a 13-run eighth.
The second turn through the lineup in the eighth included Devers hitting a grand slam off Orioles’ position player Emmanuel Rivera, who allowed eight runs and eight hits in 13 batters faced. Twelve of Boston’s 20 total hits came in the big inning, which saw six players reach base twice.
Five Orioles had multiple hits, with four of their 14 coming after the Red Sox trotted out their own position player on the mound in Abraham Toro in the ninth. Jackson Holliday went 2-for-5 with two RBI from the leadoff spot.
Dodgers 7, Mets 5 (13 innings)
Teoscar Hernandez led off the 13th inning with an RBI double for visiting Los Angeles, which outlasted New York in the opener of a three-game series.
The Dodgers, who relinquished a three-run lead in the ninth inning of the rematch of last year’s National League Championship Series, have won three straight. The Mets have lost six of eight. The teams squandered numerous chances in extras before Hernandez greeted Huascar Brazoban (3-1) — the Mets’ ninth pitcher — by doubling down the third base line to score automatic runner Will Smith. Luis Garcia (2-0), the Dodgers’ eighth pitcher, tossed 2 1/3 hitless innings.
Brett Baty hit a solo shot in the third for the Mets and Pete Alonso lofted a sacrifice fly in the fourth before New York rallied against Tanner Scott in the ninth, when Jeff McNeil laced a two-run triple and scored on Tyrone Taylor’s single.
Cubs 13, Reds 6
Pete Crow-Armstrong hit two home runs, including a grand slam to highlight a six-run seventh inning, and Seiya Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a home run, double and three RBIs as visiting Chicago rallied from a 4-0 deficit to defeat Cincinnati in the opener of a three-game series.
It was the third multi-homer game of the season for Crow-Armstrong, who also doubled and finished with six RBIs. Dansby Swanson also hit a two-run homer, Nico Hoerner went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored and Kyle Tucker added a two-run single for Chicago.
Spencer Steer went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI, Austin Hays tripled and had two hits and TJ Friedl also doubled and added two hits for Cincinnati.
Rays 3, Blue Jays 1
Brandon Lowe and Curtis Mead homered for the second straight game and Drew Rasmussen tossed six scoreless innings, lifting host Tampa Bay to a series-opening victory over Toronto.
Lowe, who belted a two-run shot in the third inning, is 8-for-17 with three homers and eight RBIs in four games against the Blue Jays this season. Mead added a solo shot in the fourth inning and Junior Caminero had two hits and scored a run for the Rays, who have won three in a row overall.
Alejandro Kirk had one of Toronto’s four hits and scored a run. The Blue Jays, however, saw their three-game winning streak and run of four straight road victories come to a halt.
Padres 2, Braves 1
Manny Machado hit a solo homer in the ninth inning to help visiting San Diego end its six-game losing streak with a win over Atlanta in the opener of their three-game series.
Machado blasted a slider from Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias (3-4) into the left field seats for his fourth home run.
The loss ruined the return of Atlanta right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr., who was playing his first game since tearing his left ACL a year ago. Acuna hit the first pitch he saw for a home run. The homer traveled 467 feet — the longest by a Braves player this season.
Twins 3, Royals 1
Ty France ripped a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to lift Minnesota to a win over Kansas City in Minneapolis.
France clenched his fist after the long ball, which marked his fourth home run of the season. Carlos Correa added a solo homer for Minnesota, which won for the 15th time in 17 games. Cole Sands (3-1) earned the victory with one scoreless inning of relief.
Cavan Biggio doubled and drove in the lone run for Kansas City. Freddy Fermin also doubled for the Royals. Lucas Erceg (1-1) took the loss after retiring only one of three batters faced in the ninth inning.
Guardians 3, Tigers 1
Slade Cecconi pitched six strong innings as Cleveland topped host Detroit.
Cecconi (1-1) allowed one run and five hits during his second start of the season. Steven Kwan recorded three hits, a run scored and an RBI for the Guardians, while Jose Ramirez stretched his hitting streak to 16 games with an RBI triple.
Spencer Torkelson’s sixth-inning home run accounted for the Tigers’ lone run. Jackson Jobe (4-1) gave up two runs and four hits in five innings.
Angels 7, Marlins 4
Yusei Kikuchi pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings, Taylor Ward and Jorge Soler each homered and Los Angeles beat Miami in Anaheim, Calif., for its eighth victory in a row.
It is the Angels’ longest winning streak since a 10-game stretch from Sept. 4-13, 2014. Kikuchi (1-4) was winless in his first 10 starts before getting his first victory in the opener of a three-game set. He gave up seven hits on a season-high 110 pitches, and got help from the offense and just enough from the bullpen.
Eric Wagaman led the Marlins offensively with three hits, including a home run, and three RBIs. Kyle Stowers added three hits and an RBI.
White Sox 4, Rangers 1
Luis Robert Jr. drove in a run and scored another and Sean Burke allowed just one run in six innings as Chicago defeated slumping Texas in the opener of a three-game set.
Burke (3-5) scattered three hits, walked three and struck out six as the White Sox won for only the second time in their past eight games. The White Sox outhit Texas 8-3, with Chase Meidroth and Lenyn Sosa collecting two hits each.
The Rangers’ Tyler Mahle (5-2) allowed three runs over five innings and had his team-record streak of starts allowing two runs or less to begin a season snapped at 10 games.
Giants 4, Nationals 0
Landen Roupp pitched six-plus innings and visiting San Francisco ended Washington’s five-game winning streak.
Roupp (3-3) allowed five hits and left after the first two Nationals reached in the seventh. Jung Hoo Lee reached base three times on two hits and a walk and scored twice for the Giants.
Nationals starter MacKenzie Gore left with no outs and a runner on first in the seventh inning. He grimaced after throwing a pitch to Matt Chapman. Manager Dave Martinez and the trainer came out, and after a brief discussion, Gore left the game. Gore (2-5) was charged with a run on two hits.
Pirates 6, Brewers 5 (10 innings)
Oneil Cruz hit two home runs and Adam Frazier scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting host Pittsburgh to a comeback win over Milwaukee. Cruz’s ninth home run in the third opened the game’s scoring and his 10th home run in the ninth off Abner Uribe (2-1) tied the game at 4-4. After trailing 3-2, the Pirates tied the game three times from the seventh inning on and won for the third time in their past four games.
Isaac Collins’ RBI single in the top of the 10th off Ryan Borucki (1-1) gave the Brewers a 5-4 lead. Alexander Canario set up the Pirates’ decisive comeback with an RBI double to lead off the bottom of the inning, which scored automatic runner Spencer Horwitz to make it 5-5.
Cardinals 4, Diamondbacks 3
Nolan Arenado hit a three-run triple as St. Louis edged visiting Arizona.
Starter Miles Mikolas (4-2) allowed one run on four hits in six innings. JoJo Romero and Kyle Leahy pitched scoreless innings, then Ryan Helsley survived a late Arizona rally for his 10th save.
Gabriel Moreno hit a two-run homer and Ketel Marte hit a solo shot for the Diamondbacks, who lost for the fourth time in six games. Starter Zac Gallen (3-6) allowed four runs on three hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Rockies 3, Yankees 2
Ryan McMahon hit a go-ahead, two-run double in the fifth inning to back six strong innings from Tanner Gordon, and Colorado beat New York in Denver.
Ezequiel Tovar, Jordan Beck and Kyle Farmer had two hits apiece and Zach Agnos picked up his third save for Colorado, which snapped a five-game skid. Aaron Judge homered among his two hits for New York, which had won four straight.
Gordon (1-1) allowed just two runs on five hits in his six innings. Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt (1-2) allowed three runs on six hits and struck out eight in 4 2/3 innings.
Phillies 4, Athletics 3
Trea Turner homered among three hits and Zack Wheeler pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings to help streaking Philadelphia post a victory over the struggling Athletics at West Sacramento, Calif.
Johan Rojas made a run-saving catch in the eighth to preserve a 1-0 lead and added a run-scoring single in the ninth as the Phillies extended their season-best winning streak to eight. Wheeler (6-1) excelled by allowing just three hits and didn’t allow a run for the third straight start while winning his fourth consecutive outing.
Nick Kurtz hit a three-run homer and Lawrence Butler had two hits for the Athletics, who saw their season-worst losing streak reach 10. Jacob Lopez (0-2) struck out a career-best eight in seven innings for the Athletics and gave up one run and three hits.
Mariners 5, Astros 3
Cal Raleigh slugged a tiebreaking two-run home run in the seventh inning to lift visiting Seattle to a comeback victory over Houston.
Raleigh became the third Mariners hitter to homer on the first pitch of an at-bat when he drilled a slider from Astros reliever Bryan Abreu (1-2) off the right field foul pole with Julio Rodriguez on second base. Mariners right-hander Emerson Hancock (2-2) benefited from the comeback. He scattered nine hits over six innings and allowed three runs.
The Astros stranded 10 baserunners and finished 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position.

JENNY BAE BIRDIES LAST HOLE FOR 36-HOLE LEAD IN LPGA’S MEXICO TOURNAMENT
PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico (AP) — LPGA rookie Jenny Bae made it through an up-and-down stretch around the turn with a birdie on the par-5 18th hole for another 3-under 69, giving her a one-shot lead going into the weekend at the Mexico Riviera Maya Open.
Miranda Wang of China had the best round of the week on the El Camaleon course at Mayakoba, running off seven birdies and keeping a clean card for a 65. That leaft Wang and Brianna Do (71) one shot behind.
Bae is trying to soak up the scenery and keep the stress to a minimum. That’s about to pick up on the weekend as she goes after her LPGA victory.
“There is going to be some stress and pressure added to it, but I think as long as I keep my momentum and just try to stay positive on every shot and every hoe, I think I’ll be OK,” Bae said,
She was at 6-under 138 on what has been a tough golf course with wind and heat. El Camaleon on Mayakoba is where the PGA Tour played from 2007 through 2024, and where the LIV Golf League played last year.
Do, among four players tied for the 18-hole lead, was the only player to reach 8 under for the tournament until a bogey-double bogey finish on the front nine. She still was in position for her first win, one off the lead.
“I didn’t have the best finish today, so it’s a little sour in my mouth right now,” Do said. “I played solid for most of the 36 holes, so feeling good.”
Jenny Shin, another of the co-leaders after Thursday, shot 72 and was two behind. The other two who opened with 68, Chisato Iwai and Bianca Pagdanganan, each followed with a 74. Pagdanganan was slowed by a triple bogey on her 11th hole, the par-4 second.
Wang, meanwhile, found the right recipe for Mayakoba. For the Duke alum, Wang figured it was best to take care of the par 5s and some of the short par 4s and keep mistakes to a minimum. She birdied three of the four par 5s and kept mistakes completely off her card.
“There are good opportunities out there, short par 4s and short par 5s. Today when I did well, I really took the chances,” Wang said. “So I think for a player to have a good round here it’s just like the short holes you have to get close and make birdies and the long hole, just make good swings and pars out there.”
The tournament is the last one before the U.S. Women’s Open at Erin Hills, and the Mexico reflected that. Charley Hull is the highest-ranked player on the Yucatan Peninsula at No. 15 in the world. She shot 75 and was nine shots behind.
Maria Fassi carried the flag for Mexico. The former NCAA champion at Arkansas had a 72 and was at 3-over 147, but at least will be around for the weekend. Gaby Lope managed only a 73 and missed the cut.
VIJAY SINGH TIED FOR LEAD IN SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP AT CONGRESSIONAL
BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — Vijay Singh started thinking about what he might do with his weekend after bogeying the first three holes Friday at the Senior PGA Championship.
“Your mind just goes haywire,” he said. “But I’ve played long enough to know that there’s a lot of golf out there.”
Then, he showed it.
After missing the Masters and PGA Championship this spring because of an undisclosed injury, Singh looked perfectly healthy the rest of the second round with seven birdies to surge to the top of the leaderboard at Congressional Country Club. Shooting a 4-under 68, the former top-ranked player was tied for the lead with Y.E. Yang (68) and Cameron Percy (71) at 6 under halfway through the PGA Tour Champions major.
“I’ve been driving the ball good,” Singh said. “Just hung in there and started making a couple of birdies here and there, picked up the shots, and the back nine I played solid golf.”
The 62-year-old from Fiji is aiming for his first career victory at the course in the Maryland suburbs just outside of Washington, which he has played a handful of times, including the 1997 U.S. Open. He tied for 77th then and missed the cut in his last event at Congressional, Tiger Woods’ tournament in 2014.
“I’ve always loved playing here,” Singh said, noting that much has changed from his previous tries. “It’s totally a different golf course, totally new golf course. The greens are very challenging, to say the least.”
Singh, who spent 32 weeks atop the world ranking roughly two decades ago and was known for his rigorous practice habits, has cut that part of his routine in half.
“Once I get on the range and hit, it used to be I’d go out there and hit five, six good shots and I’d say, ‘OK, let’s see if I can do 20 of these ones,’” Singh said. “But now if I hit two or three good shots, I say, ‘I’ve had enough, that’s it.’”
Yang birdied four of his last five holes Friday.
With conditions changing throughout his round, Percy kept looking for the big American flag to see how windy it was at any given moment and credited growing up in Melbourne, Australia, for knowing how to handle it.
“I think the wind definitely helps me,” Percy said. “You get down in the tree lines and you can’t feel the wind, and then you walk 200 yards and it’s blowing like crazy.”
Padraig Harrington headlined a crowded group two strokes back at 4 under. Stuart Cink, Justin Leonard, defending champion Richard Bland and others were 3 under.
Ernie Els followed an opening 69 with a 75 to drop to even par. He won the 1997 U.S. Open at Congressional.

INDIANA PACERS
PACERS GO UP 2-0 WITH WIN AT NEW YORK
(PACERS RELEASE}
The Indiana Pacers are just two wins away from advancing to the 2025 NBA Finals.
Using another clutch fourth-quarter finish and a masterful offensive performance by Pascal Siakam, the Pacers (2-0) claimed Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals 114-109 over the New York Knicks (0-2) on Friday at Madison Square Garden.
With two massive road victories in hand, the series now turns to Indianapolis, as the Pacers will host the Knicks for Game 3 on Sunday and Game 4 on Tuesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Sweeping the Knicks in the first two games at MSG can’t be understated: New York is 0-14 all-time when trailing 2-0 in a seven-game playoff series and Indiana is 9-0 when owning that lead historically.
The only other time the Pacers have been up 2-0 in an Eastern Conference Finals was in 2000 when they made the Finals.
“We’re focused at Game 3 at home. I can’t wait to get back to our fans,” Siakam said. “They are itching to have us out there and I know it’s going to be crazy. We can’t wait to play in front of them “
After the teams were tied at 81 after three quarters, the squads battled back-and-forth until an 11-2 Pacers run in the fourth gave the Blue & Gold a 10-point lead.
While the Knicks battled back over the final two minutes to make it a one-possession game, Aaron Nesmith and Myles Turner made their free throws in the final 15 seconds to help the Pacers hold on. Turner came up with plenty of big shots in the final minutes, scoring 13 of his total 16 points in the period.
Siakam put on an offensive clinic in Game 2, scoring a playoff career high of 39 points on 15-for-23 shooting.
“Whatever is out there, I just take it,” Siakam said. “I think what makes us special as a team is we have different weapons, and we’re not consumed with who is going to do what. We’re just going to go into the game and however the game presents itself that’s how we’re going to do it, we’re going to do it our way. For me, I just try to play my game. Shoutout to my teammates for finding me.”
After Siakam and Turner, Tyrese Haliburton finished with 14 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds, Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard each scored 12 points, and T.J. McConnell supplied 10 points and four assists off the bench.
Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 36 points and 11 assists, Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns scored 20 points each, and OG Anunoby chipped in 16 points for New York.
The Pacers outshot the Knicks 51.8 to 47.6 percent in the game, including making 13 3-pointers to the Knicks’ 11 threes, and won the points in the paint battle 48-44. The Knicks won the rebounding margin 38-31 but had 12 turnovers to the Pacers’ 10 giveaways.
There were 17 lead changes and 17 ties in the close contest.
Despite 23 points by Siakam in the first half, the Pacers trailed 52-49 at the break. New York outshot Indiana 47.5 to 46.5 percent by intermission, with Brunson scoring 17 points and Towns adding 12.
The Knicks led 26-24 at the end of the first quarter thanks to nine points each by Anunoby and Brunson. Siakam scored 16 points on 6-for-9 shooting to keep the game close for the Pacers in the opening frame.
Siakam scored Indiana’s opening 11 points following the tip, making five of his first six shots before a three by Nesmith and five straight points by Nembhard put the Blue & Gold in front 19-9 with 5:33 left in the first quarter.
New York responded with a 10-0 run to tie the game, as Brunson and Miles McBride scored five points each, before the Knicks extended their scoring spree to 15-5 to retake the lead by two with three seconds on the clock thanks to a Mitchell Robinson tip-in.
Towns made four of his first five shot attempts for 12 points in the second quarter to help the Knicks to a 40-33 lead, but Indiana answered with a step-back 3-pointer by Nembhard, a slam dunk by Turner, and three by Ben Sheppard to put the Pacers back in front 41-40 with 4:52 left in the half.
The teams then stayed within a possession before heading to the locker room, but with two seconds left in the half, Hart made a pair of free throws to keep the Knicks ahead, 52-49.
Indiana outscored New York 32-29 in the third quarter, with Haliburton and Siakam scoring nine points each in the period, and the teams tied at 81 heading into the final frame.
Out of the locker room, the Pacers drained six of their first eight shot attempts, including a pair of 3-pointers, to lead 64-59 with seven minutes left in the third quarter.
After New York made three straight 3-pointers, with Anunoby, Towns, and Brunson making one each, to tie the game at 70, the teams stayed within three points until a jumper by Brunson with three seconds left re-tied the game.
Turner scored 13 of Indiana’s 33 fourth-quarter points, shooting 4-for-6 in the period and making two free throws, as the Blue & Gold posted 33 points in the final 12 minutes.
The Pacers made their first five shots of the fourth quarter for an 11-2 run, with Turner draining two buckets and Sheppard and Siakam each hitting 3-pointers, to give the Blue & Gold a 94-85 lead with 9:17 left in the game.
New York then pulled within three points thanks to an 11-4 run before a 3-pointer by Haliburton and free throws and a tough layup by Siakam put the Pacers back in control 110-100 with 2:45 remaining.
The Knicks wouldn’t back down despite the Pacers momentum, responding with a 7-0 burst on a clutch 3-pointer and floater from Brunson to cut it to 110-107 with 1:06 left.
After the Pacers missed a pair of shots out of a timeout, Josh Hart got a layup to go to make it a one-point game before Nesmith was fouled and made both free throws with 15 seconds on the clock.
Brunson then missed a 3-point try on the other end of the court, and Turner was fouled after securing the rebound and made his free throws to create a 114-109 cushion.
With four seconds left and down five points, the Knicks ran out of time and the Pacers picked up the momentous victory.
Indiana’s players and coaches said they’re fired up to bring a 2-0 lead back to the Circle City, but expect the Knicks to continue fighting.
“There are a lot of traps here,” Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said. “You can not assume going home is going to be easier. It never is. Each game as you ascend in a playoff series is harder. And New York’s got an amazing fighting spirit, so we’re going to have to focus on our process.”
Inside the Numbers
Tyrese Halliburton has logged seven double-doubles during Indiana’s current playoff run, including two against the Knicks.
Haliburton scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half.
Indiana’s second unit outscored New York’s bench 21-11.
Pascal Siakam scored 23 points in the first half and 16 in the second half.
The Knicks outscored the Pacers 21-14 in second-chance points.
The Pacers made just 15-of-21 free throws and the Knicks finished 18-for-21 at the line.
Mitchell Robinson recorded nine rebounds off the bench for the Knicks in 29 minutes.
The Pacers were called for 23 fouls and the Knicks had 19.
INDY 500 NEWS
JOSEF NEWGARDEN FASTEST IN FINAL INDY 500 PRACTICE. TAKUMA SATO AND OTHER CONTENDERS HAVE PROBLEMS
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Josef Newgarden spent the final 2-hour practice for the Indianapolis 500 on Friday carving through a track full of cars.
He’ll have to do the same thing when it counts on Sunday.
The two-time defending Indy 500 winner, who will start in the last row as punishment for an illegally modified part found during qualifying, had the fastest lap of the 2-hour final practice on Carb Day at 225.687 mph. Teammate Will Power, who will also start at the back, was fifth while fellow Team Penske driver Scott McLaughlin was just 27th on the chart.
“We have the tools and the people to battle to the front,” Newgarden said, “which is what we plan to do.”
McLaughlin, whose car did not have the offending part and escaped Team Penske punishments, will start 10th after wrecking his primary car in practice last Sunday. His fastest lap in the final session of practice was just 221.675 mph.
“I know we have fast cars,” McLaughlin said. “Everyone feels that way, as well.”
The final opportunity to put cars on the track before race day, when a grandstand sellout is expected to produce a crowd of more than 350,000 people, turned out to be an eventful one for Rahal Letterman Lanigan and several other teams.
Graham Rahal, who struggled just to make the 33-card field, only got about 40 minutes of practice in before a mechanical issue produced a puff of smoke and fluid out the back of the No. 15 car. He wound up going to the garage area early.
“It just seems like we’ve always been behind and things keep happening,” said Rahal, whose team was still trying to diagnose the problem. “We can’t get caught up here. The car was better today, a lot better. … It is what it is at this stage. You just got to go.”
Two-time winner Takuma Sato, who will start for RLL in the middle of the front row, also failed to make it to the end. He pulled his car behind a wall and waited for time to run out on the session before his team began to troubleshoot his problems.
Ryan Hunter-Reay’s session quite literally went up in smoke. Fire erupted out the back of the No. 23 car, which had been eighth-quickest in practice, and the 2014 race winner had to quickly escape from the vehicle as the emergency crew arrived.
“I had a methanol fire back in 2003, and I just remember what went on there and that same kind of feeling. So after I felt a liquid or whatever it was — it could have been some kind of fire-retardant liquid — it just started to smoke more and more.”
Hunter-Reay wasn’t sure the extent of the damage to the rear of the car or what it could mean for his race.
“I hope it’s not a hybrid deal because Jack (Harvey) earlier in the week had a hybrid melt down on him,” Hunter-Reay said. “But yeah, that caught my attention. When it fills up with smoke in fourth gear, something is seriously wrong.”
Rookie pole-sitter Robert Shwartzman spent long stretches in his pit box as Prema Racing tried to get his car working better in traffic; Colton Herta, who went to a backup car after his crash last Saturday, had trouble with his brake systems; Ed Carpenter’s hybrid system had to be replaced because it wasn’t working properly; and 2016 winner Alexander Rossi went to the garage just 30 minutes into practice because of water that suddenly began leaking from the back of his car.
The result was a busy Gasoline Alley just 48 hours before the green flag for “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
“I think the car has been good and we were happy with where we were in practice Monday,” said Rossi, who will start on the outside of the fourth row. “But that’s what Carb Day is for, to find issues like this.”

GAME PREVIEW:
The Fever return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse this weekend for a showdown with the reigning WNBA champions. The New York Liberty will visit Indianapolis on Saturday, providing the Fever with an early chance to see how they measure up against one of the league’s top teams.
Indiana split a pair of games with the Dream earlier this week, losing by one point at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday, but rebounding with an 81-76 win on Thursday night in Atlanta. Natasha Howard had a monster performance in Thursday’s victory, scoring a season-high 26 points on 12-of-17 shooting.
Through three games, the Fever are averaging 88 points per game, the third-best scoring average in the NBA. They are also second in rebounding at 39.7 boards per game.
The Liberty have the league’s best offense through the first week of the season, averaging 95.5 points per game over a pair of convincing wins. New York beat Las Vegas 92-78 in Brooklyn in their season opener, then went on the road on Thursday and walloped the Sky in Chicago, 99-74.
Natasha Cloud has been a big catalyst for New York’s offense over the first two games, averaging 20 points and 8.5 assists, both team highs. Two-time MVP Breanna Stewart scored just 12 points in the season opener, but had 25 points and eight assists on Thursday against the Sky. The Liberty also have the reigning WNBA Finals MVP at center in Jonquel Jones and an Olympian sharpshooter in Sabrina Ionescu, so Saturday’s game will provide a major defensive test for the Fever.
INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS
MLODZINSKI DAZZLES AS INDIANS BLANK HENS, 4-0
TOLEDO, Ohio – Carmen Mlodzinski struck out a career-high 10 batters over six scoreless frames and Nick Yorke delivered a clutch pinch-hit double that salted the lead as the Indianapolis Indians shutout the Toledo Mud Hens at Fifth Third Field on Friday night, 4-0.
Mlodzinski (W, 1-0) was optioned by the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier this week and made his 2025 Indians (27-20) debut. He conceded a single to open his night in the first inning but would not allow another hit until the fifth. The right-hander struck out the side in the third and fourth innings as he reached double-digit strikeouts for the first time in his professional career.
Drake Fellows worked the seventh and eighth frames to bridge the Indy lead to the ninth inning in support of Mlodzinski. Kyle Nicholas overcame a leadoff walk to fire a scoreless ninth and seal the shutout.
Jack Suwinski put Indy in front early when he clubbed a solo home run in the top of the first inning. The game then settled into a pitchers’ duel until the Indians provided the staff with insurance in the top of the sixth. Yorke came off the bench with the bases loaded and delivered a double to right field. Two runs scored on the hit, and a third scampered home when the throw to second base got away.
Toledo (25-24) only mounted one significant rally, but two of the three hits in the fifth inning were of the infield variety. Mlodzinski escaped the bases-loaded jam when he struck out Andrew Navigato.
Wilkel Hernandez (L, 1-1) matched Mlodzinski minus the Suwinski home run. He was lifted from the game after he conceded a pair of hits in the sixth. Three of the four runs allowed by the Hens were charged to Hernandez in the defeat.
The Indians and Mud Hens will tangle in the penultimate contest of the six-game series on Saturday night at Fifth Third Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 pm. Top prospect Bubba Chandler (2-1, 2.17) is the scheduled starter for Indianapolis.

2025 USL Jägermeister Cup
The 2025 USL Jägermeister Cup kicked off on April 26 with the second edition of the in-season tournament expanded to feature all 38 clubs across the USL Championship and League One.
The 2025 tournament represents a significant milestone for domestic soccer, as it is the first time a U.S. soccer league has established its own interleague cup.
Adding more meaningful matches to the annual calendar, the USL Jägermeister Cup includes fan-first modifications to encourage attacking soccer, such as penalty shootouts to determine match winners during the group stage and goals scored as the first tiebreaker in the group standings.
The USL Jägermeister Cup consists of six regional groups with six or seven teams assigned by league or conference affiliation per group. Each team will play four matches – two home, two away – in group play with home assignments being randomly drawn. The group stage concludes the weekend of July 26.
After the group stage, a draw will set the matchups for the single-elimination knockout rounds, which will begin three weeks later. The USL Jägermeister Cup will conclude with the Final the weekend of Oct. 4.

USL Jägermeister Cup Opener
Madison, Wis. – Indy Eleven made its USL Jägermeister Cup debut in impressive fashion with a 4-0 victory at Forward Madison FC on April 26 to take an early lead in the Group 3 standings.
Boys in Blue goalkeeper Hunter Sulte celebrated his 23rd birthday a day late with a clean sheet, making three saves, including an impressive left-handed stop in the 17th minute off a shot from Juan Galindrez, with center backs James Musa and Ben Ofeimu combining to clear the rebound.
The best offensive chance for the visitors in the first half came in the 31st minute when Bruno Rendon centered to midfielder Jack Blake, whose shot caromed off the crossbar.
Indy Eleven got its offense going in the second half after the insertion of subs Elvis Amoh and Elliot Collier in the 57th minute.
Captain Aodhan Quinn made a steal outside the area in the 69th minute, then took one dribble and delivered a quick strike to give his team a 1-0 lead. It was Quinn’s third goal in six matches overall this season, as he also scored at Miami FC in the season opener and vs. Colorado Springs Switchbacks on March 29.
Indy Eleven is atop the USL Jägermeister Cup Group 3 standings with three points, based on an advantage in goals scored (4) over Birmingham Legion FC (3).

USL Championship Recap at El Paso
El Paso, Tex.- Indy Eleven captain Aodhan Quinn recorded his team-high third assist of the season and the 53rd in his USL Championship career but it was not enough as the Boys in Blue suffered their first USLC road defeat of 2025 at El Paso Locomotive FC, 3-1.
Midfielder Cam Lindley started the scoring sequence on a free kick in the 83rd minute from just inside the left sideline. He made a beautiful curling pass to Quinn past the right post, who headed it across to the left past, where forward Edward Kizza headed it home for his second goal this season.
Quinn has recorded assists in three consecutive USLC games, two shy of his longest individual assists streak in the regular season. He had assists in five straight matches for Phoenix Rising FC between Aug. 28-Sept. 18, 2021. Quinn is fourth all-time with 109 goal contributions in his USLC career, one behind Solomon Asante.
In the middle of the first half, Indy Eleven had two chance to equalize with forward Maalique Foster starting the first sequence in the 25th minute with a backheel inside the area to defender Aedan Stanley who centered it toward forward Elvis Amoh, but it was just out of his reach.
Two minutes later, Amoh had another chance to extend his scoring streak of five consecutive matches for a franchise-record seven goals by stealing a back pass at the edge of the box, but his shot was blocked.
Goalkeeper Hunter Sulte made a diving save on a Wilmer Cabrera shot in the 44th minute, punching it wide of the left post.
In the second half, the Boys in Blue had two good chances in the 62nd minute from forward Romario Williams and midfielder Jack Blake.
Then in the 71st, Foster made a nice move on the left side and fired a shot that struck the left post. Forward Elliot Collier struck a one-timer off the carom headed toward the top left corner, but goalkeeper Jahmali Waite punched it away.

PURDUE FT. WAYNE ATHLETICS
PURDUE FORT WAYNE DROPPING BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL AMID UNIVERSITY BUDGET CUTS AND REVENUE SHARING
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — Purdue Fort Wayne joined a line of schools dropping sports because of budget cuts and the looming era of revenue sharing with athletes, announcing Friday it would discontinue its baseball and softball programs immediately.
The university announced $6 million in budget cuts Thursday, and discontinuing the two sports will save about $1 million.
The Mastadons are members of the Horizon League and Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association and will sponsor 14 Division I sports.
“This is one of the saddest days in my 25 years as a Mastodon,” athletic director Kelley Hartley Hutton said. “We know this news will upset our student-athletes, alumni and fans. It was not made lightly, and we are committed to supporting those affected through this transition.”
Harley Hutton said budget challenges across the university, in combination with changes in the NCAA model, led to a re-evaluation of the athletic program.
Stephen F. Austin announced Thursday it would drop bowling, men’s and women’s golf and beach volleyball. Eastern Illinois announced on May 12 it would discontinue men’s and women’s tennis.

1935 — In the first major league night game in Cincinnati, the Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 before 25,000.
1936 — Tony Lazzeri, batting eighth for the New York Yankees, drove in 11 runs with a triple and three home runs — two of them grand slams — in a 25-2 rout of the Philadelphia A’s.
1940 — The New York Giants beat the Boston Bees 8-1 before 22,260 in the first night game at the Polo Grounds.
1940 — The Cleveland Indians edged the Browns 3-2 in the first night game at Sportsman’s Park in St. Louis. The crowd of 24827 was the largest in attendance since 1922.
1947 — Brooklyn’s Carl Furillo batted for Gene Hermanski — in the first inning — and hit a three-run homer. Why the move? Phillies manager Ben Chapman started righty Al Jurisch just to pitch to Brooklyn’s first two hitters: Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson. Reese struck out and Robinson walked. Lefty Oscar Judd, warming up from the start, came in to pitch to the next three lefty hitters: Pete Reiser, Dixie Walker, and Hermanski. Reiser walked and Walker popped out. Furillo came in for Hermanski and connected to give the Dodgers a 3-0 lead. The Dodgers lost to Philadelphia 4-3 in 10 innings.
1964 — Harmon Killebrew of the Minnesota Twins hit the longest home run in Baltimore’s Memorial Stadium, a 471-foot shot to left-center off right-hander Milt Pappas.
1984 — Jack Morris led the Tigers to their 17th straight road win, setting an AL record. Morris allowed four hits and Detroit beat the California Angels 5-1.
1990 — Chicago’s Andre Dawson was walked intentionally five times by the Cincinnati Reds to break the record shared by Roger Maris and Garry Templeton.
1992 — The Braves’ John Smoltz sets a franchise record by striking out 15 batters in a 2-1 win over the Expos.
1994 — The St. Louis Cardinals set a major league record by stranding 16 runners without scoring, losing to David West and three Philadelphia Phillies relievers 4-0.
1995 — Oakland’s Dennis Eckersley became the sixth pitcher with 300 saves in a 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles.
1998 — Freshman Matt Diaz hit four homers, tying a school and regional record, and drove in seven runs as Florida State routed Oklahoma 23-2 to advance to the NCAA Atlantic II Regional final.
2000 — For the third time in major league history a team blew a seven-run lead twice in a week. The Houston Astros lost a 7-0 lead at home against Philadelphia after blowing a 9-2 lead in the ninth inning at Milwaukee two days earlier.
2001 — Jon Lieber of the Chicago Cubs threw a 79-pitch, one-hit shutout in a 3-0 blanking of the Reds. It was the first shutout of the Reds in an NL-record 208 games.
2006 — Adam Wainwright homered in his first major league at-bat and pitched three innings of relief to earn the win in St. Louis’ 10-4 victory over San Francisco. Wainwright, who had no batting practice since spring training, hit the first pitch he saw out to left in the fifth for a solo homer.
2007 — John Smoltz of Atlanta pitched seven shutout innings and became baseball’s first pitcher with 200 wins and 150 saves with a 2-1 win over the New York Mets.

2009 — Milwaukee’s Mike Cameron homered in the Brewers’ 6-3 loss at Minnesota, becoming the 20th player in major league history to have 250 home runs and 250 steals. He has 291 career steals.
2010 — Omar Vizquel, who already owns the record for most games played at shortstop, reaches another mark, tying Luis Aparicio’s total for second-most hits at the position, 2,764.
2011 — Chicago’s Carlos Quentin hit three home runs to lead the White Sox to an 8-6 win over Texas. The game was delayed nearly 3 hours by heavy rain and hail. Quentin’s third homer — a solo shot off Dave Bush in the ninth — made it 8-6.
2013 — Anibal Sanchez took a no-hitter into the ninth inning before Minnesota’s Joe Mauer broke it up with a one-out single, and that was the only hit the Detroit right-hander allowed in the Tigers’ 6-0 victory over the Twins.
2015 — On the day they retire Bernie Williams’ number 51 and unveil a plaque in his honor in Monument Park, the Yankees suffer their 10th loss in 11 games to fall to .500. The Rangers’ 5-2 win completes a three-game sweep, as a two-run homer by Adam Rosales off Chris Capuano, and two RBIs by Prince Fielder, account for the bulk of the damage.
2019 — Trevor Story of the Rockies becomes the fastest shortstop to the 100-homer mark when he connects off Shawn Armstrong of the Orioles in the 7th inning. It comes in his 448th game, whereas Alex Rodriguez had needed 470.

2009 — Jim Thome passes Mike Schmidt for 13th on the all-time home run list, as the White Sox thump the Angels, 17-3.
2009 — Cleveland rallied from a 10-0 deficit in the fourth as Victor Martinez’s two-out, two-run single in the ninth capped a seven-run inning and lifted the Indians to an 11-10 victory over Tampa Bay.

2011 — Andruw Jones hit a pair of two-run homers, Mark Teixeira also hit a two-run shot and Mariano Rivera made a milestone appearance in New York’s 7-3 victory over Toronto. Rivera pitched the ninth inning in a non-save situation, the 1,000th game he’s played for the Yankees. The 11-time All-Star closer became the first player in major league history to reach the plateau for one team and the 15th to make it overall. Jones homered in the second inning and Teixeira in the third off Jo-Jo Reyes, who matched a major league record by making his 28th consecutive start without a win.
2011 — Infielder Wilson Valdez wound up as the winning pitcher when the Philadelphia Phillies needed 19 innings to outlast the Cincinnati Reds 5-4. Valdez threw a hitless 19th inning in his first professional pitching appearance. He became the first position player to become a winning pitcher since Colorado catcher Brent Mayne on Aug. 22, 2000.
2012 — Nelson Cruz hit a grand slam and tied his career high with eight RBIs, Josh Hamilton hit his 19th home run of the season and the Texas Rangers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 14-3. Cruz’s grand slam came in the seventh inning and gave Texas a 14-1 lead. He also had a three-run double in the first and an RBI single in the sixth.
2013 — Angel Pagan became the first San Francisco player to end a game with an inside-the-park homer, connecting with a runner aboard in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Giants a 6-5 victory over Colorado.

2014 — Josh Beckett of the Dodgers records the first no-hitter of the year by blanking the Phillies, 6-0. It is the first no-hitter by a Dodgers pitcher since Hideo Nomo pitched one in 1996, and the first nine-inning no-hitter by an opposing pitcher in Philadelphia since Bill Stoneman of the Montreal Expos back in 1969.
2019 — The Padres set a franchise record with 7 homers in a 19-4 win over the Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre.

2021 — By working home plate in a game between the Cardinals and White Sox, Joe West sets a new career record with 5,376 games as an umpire, passing Bill Klem, whose last game was in 1941.
2022 — Anaheim City Council votes unanimously to cancel the sale of Angel Stadium and surrounding land to Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno, following the resignation of Mayor Bill Sidhu on corruption charges a few days earlier. The $350 million sale had been agreed in December 2019 but not yet finalized, and was at the center of an FBI investigation that led to accusations that Sidhu had provided insider information to the team and in return demanded kickbacks in the form of campaign contributions. The city councillors are now no longer convinced that the proposed deal reflects the city’s best interests, and are willing to risk a breach of contract lawsuit from Moreno in order to examine a potential deal again, starting from scratch.

For their part, the Angels fire him from his position of pitching coach, from which he has been suspended since the allegations surfaced in February, and the Indians, who were Callaway’s employer when some of the offensive incidents took place, state that they will take steps to ensure a more respectful environment in which employees feel empowered to denounce workplace harassement in the future.
