Tyrese Haliburton led the Indiana Pacers to a decisive playoff victory over the New York Knicks with a score of 121-89. T.J. McConnell chipped in with 15 points and 10 assists. With this win, the Eastern Conference semifinal series was knotted at two points.
As the Pacers dominated the game from beginning to end, leading by as much as 43 points, Haliburton also made a contribution with six rebounds, five assists, and four 3-pointers. Even yet, they fell short of matching their greatest playoff victory, which occurred in April 2018 against Cleveland with a 34-point advantage.
Tuesday at Madison Square Garden will see the start of Game 5, which is the next match
Even though only three Knicks players scored in double figures—Alec Burks with 20, Jalen Brunson with 18 (his lowest point total this postseason), and Deuce McBride with 16—the club failed to shoot, finishing with field goal and 3-point percentages of 33.7% and 18.9%, respectively. As a result, they started the postseason with the biggest deficit of any team.
