An incredible Tyrese Haliburton, who played a flawless game, led the Indiana Pacers against the New York Knicks to take the Eastern Finals series 3-1 in favor of Indianapolis. The guard finished the match with 32 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds, 4 steals, and no turnovers. No one had ever achieved such a performance in NBA history.
He was well supported by Pascal Siakam, who scored 30 points. Aaron Nesmith recovered, defended remarkably, and ended with 16 points. Coming off the bench, Bennedict Mathurin contributed 20. The Pacers won 130-121 in a game where they controlled most of the time and, despite the visitor's push, closed it out with some confidence. They are one game away from reaching their second NBA Finals.
For the Knicks, who are still struggling to find a balance between offense and defense, Jalen Brunson finished with 31 points, this time without foul trouble but still a defensive liability throughout the series. Karl-Anthony Towns added 24 points and 12 rebounds. OG Anunoby reached 22 points. They were better in three-point shooting, rebounding, and free throws, yet they lost the game. A tough situation. We'll see in the fifth game at Madison if they can extend the series.
