The action-packed Game 3 between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse had fans on the edge of their seats. Despite the Knicks’ strong start in the series, the Pacers came out swinging and secured a crucial 111-106 victory. Donte DiVincenzo stole the show with an impressive 35-point performance, including seven 3-pointers, but it wasn’t enough to clinch the win for the Knicks.
Andrew Nembhard emerged as the hero for the Pacers with a clutch stepback 3-pointer in the final moments, sealing the victory and narrowing the series deficit to 2-1. Tyrese Haliburton’s stellar 35-point showing led the Pacers to their first win in the series, ensuring they avoided a three-game losing streak.
Aaron Nesmith’s defensive prowess troubled Jalen Brunson throughout the game, contributing to the Knicks star’s 26-point outing on 10-of-26 shooting. Despite a standout performance from DiVincenzo, the Knicks couldn’t capitalize on his career night, ultimately falling short in a hard-fought contest.
The Pacers’ resilience and homecourt advantage proved decisive as they rallied back from a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter. With Haliburton’s ankle injury adding a twist to the game, both teams now brace themselves for what promises to be an intense Game 4.
