The Indiana Pacers took a crucial 111-106 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 3 of their NBA playoff series, thanks to Andrew Nembhard’s dramatic 30-foot 3-pointer that gave them the lead. Despite the Knicks’ efforts, including Jalen Brunson’s 26 points despite a right foot injury, Donte DiVincenzo’s career-best 35 points, and Josh Hart’s 18 rebounds, the Pacers managed to push the series to a 2-1 margin.
Tyrese Haliburton led the charge for the Pacers with 35 points, despite battling an ankle twist and back spasms. Pascal Siakam added 26 points, while Myles Turner contributed 21 points and 10 rebounds in the hard-fought game. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau had to rely on reserves like Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims due to OG Anunoby’s absence.
The Knicks will have to regroup and come back stronger in Game 4, scheduled for Sunday at 3:30 pm ET with the telecast on ABC. With the Pacers eyeing a chance to even the series, the Knicks will need Brunson to shake off his foot injury early and continue to rely on the depth of their roster to fight back.
