New York Knicks
It was a tough Game 3 for Jalen Brunson, who was limited to just 31 minutes of action after getting into foul trouble that left him on the bench for the fourth quarter. That opened the door for Karl-Anthony Towns to wear the hero’s cape during the Knicks’ epic comeback with 20 fourth-quarter points. In addition to finishing the game with 24 points, Towns also piled up 15 rebounds for his second double-double of the series and 10th of the postseason. In addition to picking up five fouls, Brunson also hot just 33 per cent from the field but tallied 23 points on the strength of perfect 10/10 free throw shooting. The Knicks bench also contributed 22 total points while Josh Hart chipped in 10 boards.
Indiana Pacers
The Pacers’ have maintained a relentless pace during the postseason that has paid dividends in the form of three thrilling comeback wins, but the magic eluded them in Sunday’s late-game meltdown. Tyrese Haliburton emerged as the only Pacers shooter to reach 20 points in Game 3 and the club converted on just 20 per cent of three-pointers in the contests. Pascal Siakam took a step back after setting a playoff career-high with 39 points in Game 2, dropping just 17 points, and has now averaged just 16.5 points over his past four home appearances. Complicating matters in the uncertain status of Aaron Nesmith, who suffered an ankle injury on Sunday that leaves him as a game time decision for Game 4.
