Less than three weeks later, the Pacers acquired fellow forward Pascal Siakam from Toronto for a return that included three first-round picks. Siakam gave the ascendant Pacers an established scorer with championship pedigree, having served as the second option on the 2019 Raptors team that won the NBA Finals.

NBA conference finals have tipped off, with four teams fighting for a spot in the Finals. The No. 1 seed Oklahoma City Thunder took a commanding 2-0 series lead after defeating the No. 6 seed Minnesota Timberwolves in Games 1 and 2.

Draymond Green was full of praise for Pascal Siakam, making a bold admission about their playoff battles. He also added a compliment for Julius Randle.

Pascal Siakam was the star of the show after scoring 39 points in Indiana's 114-109 victory. The Pacers hold a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern finals.

Indiana Pacers leading scorer Pascal Siakam is far from a disappointment, regardless of what Gilbert Arenas thinks.
