NBA-Playoffs snack bar: Karl-Anthony Towns, Knicks Rallye zu Top Pacers in game 3

The New York Knicks did what they did in these NBA playoffs and stormed back from a 20-point deficit to defeat the Indiana Pacers 106-100 and the narrow Indiana series in the Eastern Conference final.

The Pacers led most of the Sunday game, but Indiana opened the door to remind you of everyone, as the Boston Celtics annoyed to achieve the final of the conference. In this series, the Knicks gathered in games 1 and 2 on the way to a six-game win of 20-point deficits.

On Sunday, led by the 24 points and 15 rebounds of Karl-Anthony Towns, the Knicks took their first tour since the beginning of the first quarter with less than 10 minutes to the last summer. Tyrese Haliburton scored 20 points for Indiana, and the two teams exchanged the lead in the fourth quarter until New York won.

The Knicks and Pacers play game 4 on Tuesday.

Cities delivers when the Knicks need it

Cities took up its third foul at the beginning of the second quarter. He missed five of his seven shot attempts in the first half. He scored only four points in the first three quarters. For a while he and the Knicks looked like they had driven a blowout loss.

They worked back to a manageable deficit, then the cities took over. While he scored 20 points in the first 6:50 a.m. in the fourth quarter, he used all clubs in his pocket. He beat his defender with a drop in the post. He cut for a dark. He rolled off from a screen for a depth 3. He scored a 30 -foot fumper after a fumper after dancing far beyond the arch with the basketball. Only a few tall men would even consider making this kind of shot, but the cities drilled them in the middle of the fourth start to put a 94-90 in the middle of the fourth start.

Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride were in bad difficulties most of the night. Knicks trainer Tom Thibodeau experimented with constellations in one essentially a must-win game. The Knicks did not always play smoothly, but the cities gave them an urgently needed victory.

In the future, the cities will have to stay away from bad fouls, which occasionally have limited its season. He has to avoid the quiet routes that sometimes come for him. He has to be healthy after being stuck around a little towards the end of the game. But when cities like he plays on Sunday, the Knicks have a real chance to return to this series. He was incredible when his team needed it the most. – Jay King, NBA -Staff Writer

Up and down for Pacers' Bank

With about six minutes in the third quarter, Pacers Wing Aaron Nesmith drove on the baseline and landed on Brunson's foot. Nesmith sprayed his ankle and sat for 11 minutes. The Pacers lost this time by 14 points. Nesmith returned to the game and continued to deliver an excellent defense, with the majority of New York's crimes.

If Nesmith limp in this series in the future, it asks questions for Pacers coach Rick Carlisle, who has rely on his bank in the playoffs. Nesmith is the main defender at Brunson and was a big reason why he had to struggle on Sunday (6 out of 18 from the field). In the meantime, the Pacers' bank, which was deeper and better than New York's entire season, was reliable throughout the season. After a great first half of the bank, TJ McConnell, Bennedict Mathurin and Ben Sheppard were flat in the second half. A Knicks line -up that played with deep reserves such as Delon Wright and Landry Shamet zero minutes throughout the season.

Carlisle will undoubtedly give the bank the opportunity to jump back in game 4 on Tuesday. If Nesmith is limited and some other people continue to fight, will Carlisle correspond to the playoff standards and shorten its rotation? – Eric Koreen, NBA employee author

Indy falls off before another comeback

The Towns was brilliant in the fourth quarter and scored 20 points das in the frame as the entire Indiana team to help the Knicks avoid a brand-noded 3-0 hole in the series. The stars of the Pacers were unable to meet its dominance. Haliburton, who broke the Knicks with a playful jumper in game 1 and finally led to a Pacers victory, scored seven points in the fourth quarter, but did not deliver the same late game heroes. Brunson, who fought almost the entire game with a poor problem, scored six points in the last 77 seconds of the game to seal the victory of the Knicks.

Indiana gave a lead of 20 points in the second quarter when Pascal Siakam and Nesmith cooled down. After 39 points in the Pacers' Game 2 victory, Siakam scored on Sunday with 17 points at 7-against-14 shooting. The all-star striker was a minus-21 most playful in his 35 minutes. Nesmith only made a 3 pointer in three attempts after shooting 10-against-12 shooting in the first two games in the series. – James Boyd, Indianapolis Staff Writer
