Jalen Brunson's 40-point performance wasn't enough as the New York Knicks fell to the Indiana Pacers in overtime on February 10, 2026. The Pacers, led by Pascal Siakam's 30 points and Andrew Nembhard's 24 points and 10 assists, snapped a four-game losing streak with a thrilling 137-134 victory. The game was a back-and-forth affair, with 39 lead changes, the most in the NBA this season. The Knicks, despite Josh Hart's triple-double and Karl-Anthony Towns' clutch free throws, couldn't secure the win in regulation, falling to the Pacers in overtime for the first time this season. The Pacers' bench outscored New York's 43-18, and Indiana's eight players scored in double figures, showcasing their depth and balance. The Knicks, who entered the game tied for the NBA's second-most home wins, dropped only their second game in 11 overall and seventh time in 28 home games. The Pacers, playing without center Ivica Zubac due to an ankle injury, snapped their road win drought, winning for the first time since last year's Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks. The game's outcome highlighted the importance of depth and balance, as the Pacers' strong bench and multiple scoring options proved decisive in the close contest.
