Before the fourth quarter, Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson tried to keep the Knicks alive in a hostile Indiana environment. Brunson scored 23 points, while Anunoby had an all-around game, putting up 16 points and three blocks. Robinson added 15 points and two steals.

Game 4 will be in Indiana, which means the Knicks will have to stay razor-sharp and hope they can tie the series on Tuesday.
