How To Watch
What to Know
On Wednesday, the New York Knicks will face off against the Indiana Pacers in an Eastern Conference playoff match at 8:00 p.m. ET at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks have been getting the ball to fall more lately as they’ve increased their point totals each of their last three games.
The Pacers are out to put a dent in the Knicks’ postseason run, something the Pacers tried (and failed) to do on Monday. The Knicks secured a 121-117 W over the Pacers.
The Knicks’ success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Jalen Brunson led the charge by scoring 43 points along with six assists and six rebounds. That means Brunson has scored a third or more of the Knicks’ points for five games straight. The team also got some help courtesy of Josh Hart, who dropped a double-double on 24 points and 13 rebounds.
The Knicks are winning the series right now, leading the Pacers 1-0. Come back here after the game to see if the Knicks can scoop up another win or if the Pacers can turn things around.
