Unity, Pacers Siakam talks about the "team" philosophy and helps it lead the Knicks 3-1

The three-time All-Star has made remarkable insights into the differences between the Pacers and other teams in the league.

Indiana Pacers star Pascal Siakam frankly elaborated on the team's selfless dedication, which is the spirit that led the team to this stage of the season. In this crucial fourth game, the Pacers faced the challenge, defeating the New York Knicks 130-121 to gain a 3-1 lead in the series. The Indiana Pacers are now just one step away from advancing to the NBA Finals for the second time. Siakam is the absolute hero of the series, with the three-time All-Star scored a key 30 points in Game 4, including several key shots.

In addition, Pascal also contributed several key offensive rebounds in the final moments of the game. Although Siakam has been a key member of the championship team before, his performance with the Pacers remains the same. In an interview with Charles Barkley, the star striker candidly explain why the team is so harmonious.

Charles Barkley: "They won't run you any tactics... Have you ever said, 'Man, if you run me occasionally, I'll get 25 points a night.'"

Pascal Siakam: "That's not our style, man... for us, team first." 🗣️

Siakam contributed extraordinary statistics in all four games in this series. The 31-year-old averaged 25.8 points per game, shooting as high as 54.1% from the field and 50% from three-point shooting. Of course, the best performance was Game 2, where he set a playoff career high at Madison Square Garden Stadium. But when it comes to winning goals at critical moments, Siakam may have played a more critical role in Game 4.

The Pacers can now end the series on Thursday with the Knicks home. The Pacers have already scored 2-0 at Madison Square Garden, including an epic reversal victory in Game 1. Back to Siakam, this team is more tacit in the playoffs than any other team. Does this mean the Pacers will win the championship? It remains to be seen, but Rick Carlisle has established a special culture with Tyrese Halliburton as its core and will continue.

However, now is not the time to be complacent. As Carlisle said in a post-match interview, there is still a lot of work to be done. However, based on recent history, one doesn’t have to worry too much about the Pacers not staying ahead. The Knicks are already at a loss, and Indiana has performed well in this kind of series in the past.
