Indiana Pacers Demolish Knicks To Level Play-Off Series

The Indiana Pacers evened out their Eastern Conference playoff semi-final series with the New York Knicks, bringing the score to a 2-2 tie in a stunning display of basketball prowess.

The Pacers, showing no mercy from the start, quickly amassed a commanding 20-point lead by the end of the first quarter.

The Pacers’ momentum didn’t wane as the game progressed, with six of their players hitting double digits in scoring. Tyrese Haliburton stood out among his teammates, netting an impressive 20 points. This victory marked a significant turnaround for the Pacers, who had been trailing 0-2 in the best-of-seven series before clawing back with a win in the third game.

The resurgence of the Pacers was on full display this Sunday in Indianapolis. Both teams are now gearing up for a pivotal game five, set to take place in New York on Wednesday.

Tyrese Haliburton reflected on the series, stating, “We did our job. They won two at home, and we’ve matched that here. Now, game five brings even higher stakes.”
