Can the Knicks summon more magic and comeback on Pacers?
The New York Knicks are no strangers to dramatic comebacks, but is a 3-1 deficit too much to come back on the Pacers?
Sports Pulse
It’s do or die for the Knicks.
The Knicks are one loss away from being eliminated as they head into Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals down 3-1 to the Pacers after a 130-121 loss in Game 4.
Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton recorded a triple-double with 32 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds, four steals and zero turnovers in Game 4, becoming the first player to have 30+ point, 15+ assist and 10+ rebound with zero turnovers in NBA playoff history.
The objective is clear for the Knicks: Win three straight games to pull off the improbable and rally from a 3-1 deficit.
Can the Knicks stay alive to force a Game 6 this weekend, or will the Pacers come out on top and advance to the NBA Finals with a win Thursday night at Madison Square Garden?
