If you find yourself in a hole, you should probably stop digging. The New York Knicks are in the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2000. They won 51 games this season — the most any Knicks team has won since 2011-12.

A miraculous Game 1 comeback by the Indiana Pacers (or choke job by the New York Knicks) put the higher seed on notice. After Friday's 114-109 loss in Game 2, the Knicks are officially on the ropes and headed on the road.

The New York Knicks go into Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals having dropped Game 1 to the Indiana Pacers in overtime. In that one, the Knicks had a 17-point lead at one point and blew a 14-point lead in the final three minutes of the game.
