This is why Indiana traded for Pascal Siakam: for nights like Friday’s Game 6 that he won for the Pacers and the Game 7 the 116-103 win earned them.

Siakam repaid their faith with a team-high 25 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two steals to lift the young Pacers past the Knicks.
“It feels good. I mean, obviously being part of the team, it feels like awhile now. But yeah, just happy to be here, support from everyone,” Siakam said. “Obviously after the Game [5], we had just wanted to respond as a team and I thought we did that well. Yeah, I’m happy to be part of this team and just want to keep going and hopefully get a win on Sunday.”
Siakam is the lone Pacers player who knows what true winning feels like.
He won an NBA title in 2019 with the Raptors, to whom Indiana traded three first-round draft picks midseason for his services.
