The New York Knicks were banged up coming into Game Three of the 2024 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Indiana Pacers. With an obviously sore foot, Jalen Brunson gave a valiant effort tonight. Without OG Anunoby (strained hamstring), Precious Achiuwa got his first start since March 10. In enemy territory and fielding a skeleton crew, our heroes were underdogs for sure.
The Knicks fell behind by 12 points in the first quarter due to poor shooting and turnovers, but a late surge with back-to-back three-pointers by Donte DiVincenzo cut the deficit to 28-20.
