Knicks Score Shocker: Final Score, Must-See Highlights & What It Means for the Playoff Push
• Hot Trendy News
INDIANAPOLIS — Midway through the third quarter of Game 3 in the Eastern Conference finals, the New York Knicks find themselves chasing the Indiana Pacers, 72-57, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, with 5:58 remaining in the period.
A slow offensive start doomed New York out of the gate. Indiana opened the night on a 30-26 first-quarter surge, then tightened the screws defensively to build a 58-45 halftime cushion. Center Myles Turner is leading the Pacers with 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting, while Tyrese Haliburton has orchestrated the attack with five assists.
For the Knicks, OG Anunoby’s 16 points have provided a spark, but Jalen Brunson has been held to just 9 on 3-for-11 from the floor, forcing New York to lean on perimeter looks that simply aren’t falling (31.8 % from deep). Karl-Anthony Towns owns a team-high seven rebounds, yet second-chance opportunities remain scarce.
Key numbers
• Field-goal percentage: IND 50.0 %, NYK 41.7 %
• Rebounds: Pacers 26, Knicks 20
• Turnovers: Knicks 9, Pacers 5
What the deficit means
Indiana already holds a 2-0 series edge; a Pacers victory tonight would push New York into a daunting 0-3 hole—an obstacle no NBA team has ever overcome in playoff history.
Adjustments New York must make
1. Re-establish Brunson in the mid-range to collapse defenders and open kick-outs.
2. Crash the glass; Towns and Mitchell Robinson have combined for only eight boards.
3. Increase tempo—live-ball turnovers are the one area Indiana has yet to exploit.
Looking ahead
Game 4 returns to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday, May 27. Should the Knicks rally, the series shifts back to Madison Square Garden for a pivotal Game 5 on Thursday.
