Knicks rally from beat Pacers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals

The New York Knicks made history on Sunday night by securing their first victory in an Eastern Conference Finals series in a quarter-century. Star guard Jalen Brunson led the charge with 23 points, while center Karl-Anthony Towns scored 20 points in the fourth quarter to complete New York’s second-half comeback against the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks, who trailed by 20 points at one point in the game, rallied to a 106-100 Game 3 win.

Despite Towns and Brunson facing foul trouble throughout the game, the Knicks managed to cut the series deficit to 2-1. Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers with 20 points and six assists, while Myles Turner added 19 points. However, Indiana dropped to 0-4 all-time playing on the same day as the Indianapolis 500.

One notable moment during the game was the presence of Alex Palou, who had won the Indianapolis 500 earlier in the day. Palou received a rousing standing ovation during the second quarter of the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Pacers held a 68-52 lead early in the third quarter, but the Knicks mounted a strong comeback. New York cut the deficit to 80-70 by the end of the third quarter and eventually retook the lead at 89-88 with 7:10 left to play.

The game remained close, with the Knicks never leading by more than four points until the final free throws with 2.6 seconds left. Both teams will have a day off before the series resumes on Tuesday.

In conclusion, the Knicks’ victory was a significant milestone for the franchise, and it sets up an exciting continuation of the series. Fans can look forward to more intense matchups as the Eastern Conference Finals progress.
