Discouraging stat for a Knicks series comeback after Game 2 loss

The Pacers were able to fight the surge of a Knicks team that tried to avoid going down 2-0, but the Pacers' response to a late run was enough to get the job done.

The Pacers now lead the series 2-0, and go back to Indiana with a chance to take a commanding 3-0 series lead.

For Knicks fans, it doesn't look pretty as history is not on their side.

What history is not in New York's favor?

After going down 2-0 on the home floor, the Knicks find themselves in trouble as they now have to win at least one game in Indiana to guarantee coming back to MSG.

In every series in conference finals history in the NBA, no team has ever come back from a 2-0 deficit after losing the first two games at home.

The Knicks will have to find a way to win a game at Indiana, with the fans just as crazy as the Garden, knowing the importance of the next two home games.

The Knicks shouldn't be written off just yet, as they barely lost tonight's game and without a Game 1 meltdown could have a game or two.

A sweep would be very surprising and New York is good enough to win at least one game over the next few days.
