How the Pacers’ out-Knicksed the Knicks in crucial Game 3 win

INDIANAPOLIS — With the shot clock running low on Friday, guard heeded teammate ’s warning and tried to create some space. Nembhard attacked off the dribble. He pushed his dribble toward the rim and crossed over between his legs before taking a huge stepback. As he gathered the ball for his shot, Nembhard fumbled it slightly but eventually settled himself long enough to attempt a 31-footer, just before the shot clock buzzer sounded.

“Just figuring out what you can do to get to the next play because every possession matters, and you’re just trying to win one possession at a time.” Haliburton, who ended the night with 35 points, four rebounds and seven assists, was spectacular on Friday. The Pacers All-Star point guard spent the night in attack mode looking for his own shot and used his aggressiveness to create for himself and teammates, but that doesn’t mean he was perfect.
