Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks Game 2: Tyrese Haliburton is active, final injury report, official starters May 8

The Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks will face off for Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Semifinals series tonight in Madison Square Garden, and the Pacers will be looking to bounce back. They dropped Game 1 by four, giving away a lead in the fourth quarter.

Indiana will try to avoid falling behind 0-2 in the series. Their only road victory during their first-round win against the Milwaukee Bucks came in Game 2 — and their adjustments were vital in that outing. Tonight is as important as it gets for Indiana.

Here are the official starting lineups and injury reports for the action.
