Tom Thibodeau on Knicks falling into an 0-2 hole in the Eastern Conference Final
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau was brief in his postgame comments to the media after losing Game 2 to the Pacers, 114-109. He talked about "trying to win it in the end," but New York had no answer for Pascal Siakkam's 39-point performance and will have to continue their strong play on the road if they hope to get back into the series.

MLB Makes Strong Aaron Judge Statement on Sunday
MLB Makes Strong Aaron Judge Statement on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox prepare for Sunday night's series finale at Yankee Stadium, with first pitch set for 7:10 p.m. ET on ESPN, Major League Baseball made a pointed move of its own on Sunday morning. Advertisement Just hours before the rubber match in the storied AL East rivalry, MLB took to X to shine a spotlight on Aaron Judge's numbers through 63 games, figures that sit comfortably among the all-time great offensive campaigns. Major League Baseball posted that Judge "is putting together an all-time season: AVG: .390 HR: 21 RBI: 51 OBP: .488 SLG: .746 OPS: 1.234." His batting average (.390), slugging percentage (.746), on-base percentage (.488) and on-base plus slugging percentage (1.233) comfortably lead the MLB this season. Judge's 21 home runs (third in MLB) and 51 RBIs (sixth in MLB) further solidify his standing as the league's premier slugger. Advertisement He also leads the league in hits (92) and ranks second in runs (59). New York Yankees third baseman Oswald Peraza (left) and designated hitter Aaron Judge. John Froschauer-Imagn Images Since his debut with the Yankees on Aug. 13, 2016, Judge has steadily built a resume packed with milestones, including six All-Star selections, four Silver Slugger Awards and two Hank Aaron Awards (given to the top offensive performer in each league). He is also a two-time AL MVP (2022, 2024), including his record-breaking 62-homer season of 2022, which broke the previous Yankees franchise mark and stands as the American League single-season record. New York enters Sunday's finale tied at one game apiece in the three-game set after Boston's 10-7 victory on Saturday. Advertisement Overall, New York sits at 39-24 atop the AL East and second in league standings, behind only the Detroit Tigers (42-24).

SEE IT: Pete Alonso ties, then surpasses David Wright for second place on Mets' all-time home run list
Pete Alonso continues to rise up the Mets' all-time home run list. On Sunday afternoon at Coors Field, Alonso belted a two-run home run to left-center to put the Mets ahead 4-0 on the Colorado Rockies in the top of the third inning. The blast from Alonso was No. 242, tying David Wright for second on the franchise's all-time list and trailing only Darryl Strawberry, who logged 252 long balls in a Mets uniform. Advertisement Then, in the eighth inning, the Mets' slugger took sole possesion of second place, crushing a two-run shot down the left field line for No. 243 to put the team up 12-3. The pair of two-run dingers also bumped Alonso's season RBI to a league-leading 61. While Wright wasn't the same pure power hitter as Alonso, it's worth nothing that Wright hit his 242nd home run in his 1,583rd career game, while Alonso accomplished the same number in just 912 career games. Here's a look at how the Polar Bear took another step closer to making Mets history:
