Knicks Game Tonight: Live Score, Streaming Info, Injury Updates & Must-See Highlights

INDIANAPOLIS — The New York Knicks face a pivotal challenge tonight as they battle the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 of the 2025 Eastern Conference finals. Tip-off at Gainbridge Fieldhouse was 8 p.m. ET on TNT, and early fireworks set the tone for a must-win contest for New York, which trails the best-of-seven series 2-1. Fast start favors Indiana Indiana’s offense clicked immediately, racing to a 43-35 edge after the first quarter on 66 percent shooting, punctuated by a 12-5 closing burst that electrified the home crowd. Tyrese Haliburton drilled three triples in the opening frame, while Myles Turner controlled the paint with a pair of emphatic blocks. Knicks survive early punch Despite the deficit, the Knicks showed the same resilience that fueled Sunday’s 20-point comeback victory in Game 3. Jalen Brunson (averaging 28.4 ppg this postseason) steadied the ship with decisive drives and mid-range pull-ups, and OG Anunoby’s step-back jumper kept New York within single digits midway through the second quarter. Head coach Tom Thibodeau also unleashed reserve sparkplug Miles McBride to pester Haliburton full-court, trimming an early 14-point gap to six before halftime. Key storylines to watch • Battle of the backcourts: Brunson vs. Haliburton has defined the series. Brunson erupted for 35 in Game 3, but Haliburton’s playmaking (10.7 apg in the series) keeps New York’s defense scrambling. • Boards and bruises: With Mitchell Robinson still sidelined (ankle), Isaiah Hartenstein shoulders the interior load against Turner and a relentless Indiana bench featuring Isaiah Jackson. Second-chance points are tilting toward the Pacers, 42-27, through three games. • Perimeter swing factor: The Knicks shot 18-for-36 from deep in their Game 3 win; they opened tonight just 4-for-15. Quentin Grimes’ outside touch could be the X-factor if New York hopes to even the series on the road.
