Jalen Brunson again led the severely short-handed Knicks by scoring 31 points on 11-of-26 shooting after missing his final 11 shots in the first half. Deuce McBride added 20 points and Donte DiVincenzo had 17, but Josh Hart left in the fourth quarter with what the Knicks said was abdominal soreness. It didn’t take the Pacers long to show this contest would be different. They outhustled New York early, scooping up loose balls and turning them into quick points as they took a 42-41 lead on Haliburton’s second three-pointer of the game. The ensuing 16-7 run helped the Pacers take a 61-48 halftime lead and they never trailed again.

But Nembhard and Haliburton answered with consecutive 3s to rebuild an 11-point margin, and the Knicks never really contended again.
