Jalen Brunson scored 43 points, becoming the fourth player in NBA history with four straight 40-point games in the postseason, and the New York Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers 121-117 on Monday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

May 06, 2024 at 10:21 PM ETNEW YORK —

Donte DiVincenzo hit the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 39 seconds remaining and scored 25 for the Knicks, who opened the second round with the type of close finish that their first-round victory over Philadelphia was full of. Josh Hart added a playoff career-high 24 points and added 13 rebounds and eight assists.

Brunson soundly outplayed fellow All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton, the NBA’s assists leader who finished with six points and eight assists after being listed as questionable with back spasms. The bench isn’t a big priority for the Knicks, who will ride Brunson, Hart and DiVincenzo as far as they can take them.It was all enough to get the Knicks the early lead, their first in a series later than the first round since the 2000 East semifinals against Miami.
