The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers resume their 2024 NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference semifinals at Gainbridge Arena on Friday. The Knicks are up 2-0 after a controversial first two games, where the Pacers have reportedly complained about 78 clips to the league office.
Game 3 offers the Pacers a shot to prove how much of an impact playing in MSG has on their prospects of winning games on the road in this series. They have been close but have struggled to get over the hump often, getting too caught up with missed calls.
The Knicks have won by 13 points across both games after a 130-121 win in Game 2, following a 121-117 win in Game 1. The Pacers lost despite going up 10 at halftime. The Knicks stormed back with a 36-18 third quarter that blew the Pacers' chance of tying the series.
Tyrese Haliburton returned to form with 34 points, six rebounds, nine assists and three steals on 57.9% shooting, including 7-of-11 from 3, while Obi Toppin had 20 points off the bench, and T.J. McConnell finished with 10 points and 12 assists.
However, the Knicks' Nova trio of Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart held their ground, combing for 76 points on 29-of-50 shots, covering for OG Anunoby's injury exit, who dropped 28 points in 28 minutes.
