The Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks 137–134 in overtime at Madison Square Garden on February 10, 2026, in a high-scoring affair that exceeded the Vegas total of 227.5 points. Jrue Brunson led the Knicks with 40 points, supported by Mikal Bridges' 22 points, but New York's 50 percent field-goal shooting and 14 three-pointers proved insufficient. The Pacers countered with Pascal Siakam's 30 points and Andrew Nembhard's 24 points, while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and connecting on 18 three-pointers. Indiana's superior three-point volume and efficiency proved decisive; the Pacers also posted a 120.8 offensive rating compared to the Knicks' 115.6, and limited New York's turnovers (11 versus 12). The Knicks' defensive rating of 120.8 underscored their inability to contain Indiana's balanced attack across four quarters, despite outscoring the Pacers 36–31 in the second quarter. The overtime period, where Indiana outscored New York 13–10, proved the difference-maker. This road victory strengthens the Pacers' playoff positioning and suggests their three-point shooting depth poses a matchup problem for Eastern Conference contenders.
