For the third game in a row, the Knicks and Pacers went down to the wire, but this time the breaks went in favor of the Pacers.
That was capped by a step-back, game-winning 3-pointer from Andrew Nembhard, who shot 30% from that end of the floor during the regular season but hit Indiana’s biggest shot of the season there on Friday. at night.
Indiana made a pair of free throws and won 111-106 to make it a 2-1 series with Game 4 on Sunday. Tyrese Haliburton scored 35 and Pascal Siakam 26 for Indiana. Donte DiVincenzo led the Knicks with 35 points, including seven 3-pointers, tying a franchise record for a playoff game.
