Things were looking pretty bleak for the New York Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and if it weren't for a strong finish to the third quarter by Miles McBride and Co., the Knicks could have found themselves behind 3-0 in the series to the Indiana Pacers.
The Knicks trailed by 15 when he checked back into the game with roughly four minutes to go in the third, and a couple of minutes later, McBride racked up a quick seven points in a span of a minute. He nailed a 16-foot pull-up jumper, drained a pair of free throws, and swished a heavily contested three to cut the deficit to eight.

The former West Virginia star didn't have a huge impact offensively in the fourth quarter, but he did notch a steal and was subbed in for Jalen Brunson multiple times late in the game for defensive purposes, helping keep the Pacers from regaining the lead.
