Watch: Miles McBride caught fire from three vs. Pacers

Injuries forced Miles “Deuce” McBride into the Knicks’ starting lineup. His three-point shooting was hurting the Pacers in Game 6.

He’s normally New York’s third or even fourth guard, but after Julius Randle and OG Anunoby both went out with injuries, McBride is now starting.  And thriving.

His shooting inspired teammate Donte DiVincenzo, who missed his first three attempts from deep. But after seeing McBride’s example, DiVincenzo heated up, with an extra assist from Josh Hart’s hustle.

Jalen Brunson wasn't effectively scoring early, but fortunately for the Knicks, their Deuce is going wild.
