The Knicks were fortunate to rally from a 20-point deficit in Game 3 to beat the Pacers in Indiana, outscoring them 36-20 in the final quarter.
In a bizarre turn of events, they did it without Jalen Brunson, who had a terrible game. He went 6-for-18 from the field in a playoff-low 31 minutes due to being in foul trouble.
That doesn’t seem like a recipe that will be duplicated in Game 4.
The Pacers are favored by three points, but I think this is another good spot to bet on the Knicks.
Here’s something that stands out from Game 3: The Pacers were just 5-for-25 on 3-point attempts. For just the second time in the postseason (13 games), Indiana shot worse than its opponent from beyond the arc. The last time this happened was in the first round, in Game 3 against the Bucks. That ended in a loss.
Here’s the weird part: This season, the Pacers were not an extraordinary 3-point shooting team. They were the ninth-best 3-point shooting team in the league (36.8%). They were only 21st in 3-point field goal attempts.
Yet, through 13 playoff games, they are the most prolific team from deep (39.6%). Indy’s percentage was above 40% before the 5-for-25 debacle in Game 3.
Will the Pacers continue to punch above their weight class from deep?
Aaron Nesmith, the Game 1 hero who went 8-for-9 from 3, was only 1-for-3 in Game 3 before turning an ankle. Pascal Siakam was the Game 2 hero. In that contest, he had 39 points and went 3-for-5 from 3. In Game 3, he was a mere 0-for-1 from deep.

The sample size of 82 games vs. 13 games is somewhat eye-popping.
The Knicks, meanwhile, were grasping at straws in Game 3.
They were juggling the starting lineup (Mitchell Robinson for Josh Hart) and bizarrely playing veterans Delon Wright and Landry Shamet significant minutes off the bench. Those guys usually only play in blowouts.
The Knicks look desperate. The Pacers are desperate for 3-pointers to continue to fall.
PICK: Knicks (+3) to lose by fewer than 3 points or win outright

Goodbye to everything we knew about our oceans: a NASA satellite is rewriting the history of the seas
Findings currently being carried out could change history forever. A NASA satellite has found a series of details in the ocean thanks to a study led by Texas A&M University, using a unique satelliteThe satellite is called Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) and has caused scientists to look at the ocean in a unique way, reaching totally invisible details (eddies, sea waves, something key in the transport of heat and nutrients).NASA astronauts breathe fresh air for the first time in nine months after extended missionThese two small formations had been known for some time and had been sighted from space, but could not be seen in their entirety. However, thanks to this satellite, the images can be seen two-dimensionally and in detail of the entire ocean surface, allowing scientists to investigate the movement of water at a global level […]
Rosario Central se mobiliza para garantir retorno de Di María, de saída do Benfica
Entretanto, a volta de Di María enfrenta obstáculos significativos. Em 2024, o jogador e sua família foram alvo de ameaças em Rosario, cidade marcada pelo aumento da violência ligada ao narcotráfico. Na ocasião, criminosos deixaram mensagens intimidatórias em frente à residência do atleta, incluindo ameaças diretas à sua filha. O episódio levou Di María a desistir temporariamente do retorno ao clube argentino. Para contornar a situação, o Rosario Central elaborou um plano de segurança robusto.

Top triple-threat receivers in the NFL: Garrett Wilson, CeeDee Lamb and more
A rookie explodes onto the scene: Ladd McConkey’s do-it-all ability played a crucial role in the Chargers’ success this past season, as he was one of just two receivers to rank above the 70th percentile in all three facets on this list.
