Siakam downplayed his big scoring night and said it was merely the product of head coach Rick Carlisle's "random" offense.

Siakam's 39 points were a career-playoff high as the veteran forward has been a steady presence on the court and in the locker room.

The Pacers ended Game 2 with a 114-109 victory behind an impressive performance from Pascal Siakam, who helped carry the team in the first half of the game and ended with 39 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists on 65/60/75 shooting splits.
