Tyrese Haliburton scored 35 points and Andrew Nembhard emerged as an unlikely hero Friday (Saturday, Manila time) as the Indiana Pacers grabbed a gritty 111-106 victory over the New York Knicks to claw back in their NBA Eastern Conference semifinal series.

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - MAY 10: Andrew Nembhard #2 of the Indiana Pacers celebrates after making a three-point basket against the New York Knicks in the last minute of the fourth quarter in Game Three of the Eastern Conference Second Round Playoffs at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 10, 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The move to Indianapolis -- and the determination to avoid falling into an 0-3 hole -- clearly energized the Pacers, who kept the banged-up Knicks in check early. Knicks star Jalen Brunson, who wasn't confirmed to start until after pre-game warm-ups after hurting his right foot on Wednesday, got off to a slow start, but New York briefly pulled ahead in the second quarter -- foreshadowing a third-quarter surge that saw them take a 90-85 lead into the final period.

Friday's other game saw the Minnesota Timberwolves trying to push the defending champion Denver Nuggets to the brink as they hosted game three of their Western Conference semifinal.
