The New York Knicks are still in the game. They pulled off a thrilling comeback against the Indiana Pacers, winning 106-100 on Sunday. This victory was crucial, preventing them from falling into a tough 3-0 series deficit.
Early in the game, the Pacers were on fire, quickly building a 20-point lead. Yet, the Knicks didn’t back down. They made a strong push, going on a 16-4 run that brought them closer just when it looked like they might lose hope.
Karl-Anthony Towns was instrumental during this game. He scored 20 points in the fourth quarter, proving to be a game-changer. While Jalen Brunson faced foul trouble and had limited involvement in the fourth, he still came through with a key floater, helping the Knicks take a narrow lead as the game wound down.
Despite Brunson’s time on the bench, he ended with 23 points, contributing significantly to the win. Fans were especially vocal about Towns’ incredible performance, with many trending his name on social media as the hero of the night.
Looking ahead, the Knicks are down 2-1 in the series, but this win boosts their confidence. If they can keep up the momentum and get more performances like Towns showed in the fourth, they have a good shot at turning the series around.
Historically, teams facing a 3-0 deficit in a playoff series have a tough road ahead. In fact, only a handful have ever come back to win. However, a spark of hope remains for the Knicks as they regroup and prepare for the next game. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if they can build on this victory.
