The Pacers enjoyed a blowout win over the New York Knicks

With 20 points, Tyrese Haliburton was the team's top player. T. J. McConnell scored 15 additional points off the bench, while Pascal Siakam added another 14. On Saturday, after Jalen Brunson had given the Knicks a 2-0 lead, Andrew Nembhard's late three-pointer allowed the Pacers to tie the series. With the series locked at 2-2 going into their Tuesday night match at Madison Square Garden, there is now everything to play for.

The Pacers started the game well, leading 34–14 at the end of the first quarter, in large part because of an outstanding effort by McConnell, who finished with eleven assists. The Pacers were unrelenting as they blasted to a 69-41 lead at the half, despite the Knicks' improvement in the second quarter. The Knicks' situation deteriorated further in the third quarter, and with the score at 101-63 in the fourth, Tom Thibodeau might have been forgiven for thinking about benching his best players.
