Knicks and Pacers Set for Game 4 Showdown
The New York Knicks take on the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday afternoon in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinal-round series. The Knicks lead the series, 2-1.

The Knicks (6-3 postseason) were able to outlast a feisty Pacers squad in the first two games of the series, but Indiana had a bit more in the tank during a 111-106 victory in Game 3 on Friday night. Donte DiVincenzo led the Knicks with 35 points, adding three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block. Jalen Brunson supplied 26 points, six assists and one steal. Alec Burks totaled 14 points, four boards, one assist, one steal and one block. Josh Hart generated a 10-point, 18-rebound double-double that included four assists and two steals. Miles McBride matched Hart's scoring and added two rebounds, one assist and one steal.

The Knicks will be without OG Anunoby (hamstring) for Sunday's game.

The Pacers (5-4 postseason) were able to overcome the adversity that had besieged them over the first two games in front of the home fans, atoning for blowing an early lead with a dynamic defensive performance in the fourth quarter during which they allowed only 16 points. Tyrese Haliburton led the way with 35 points, adding seven assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block. Pascal Siakam delivered 26 points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block. Myles Turner generated a 21-point, 10-rebound double-double that included one assist and three blocks. Aaron Nesmith finished with 10 points, six rebounds, one assist and one steal.

The Pacers will list Haliburton (back/ankle) and Nesmith (shoulder) as questionable for Sunday's game.

Sunday's game marks the seventh meeting between the teams since the start of the regular season. Each team has won three games.
