39 points playoff high! Siakam: We don t care who scores, we just want to win

In the NBA playoffs, the Pacers defeated the Knicks 114-109 away, leading 2-0 in the series.

In this game, Pacers forward Pascal Siakam performed well and scored a new 39 points in his career playoff high.

After the game, Siakam was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

"It was just to stay focused from the beginning, our defense was not very good in the last game, so today we wanted to create something. From the beginning of the game, we felt good, and we played some counterattacks and then we went on." Siakam said.

When talking about the career high of 39 points, Siakam said: "We are a team, so what I especially like about this team is that we never care about who scores. We all just want to win. I just scored a few goals in the early stages of the game. My teammates started looking for me, but it still happened. It doesn't matter who scored. We did something special together."

In this game, Siakam started for 33 minutes, made 15 of 23 shots, made 3 of 5 three-pointers, made 8 free throws, scored 39 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
