Knicks at Pacers: LIVE Game 4 Log

It takes two to make a New York Knicks Eastern Conference Finals thing go very, very right.

The Knicks will look for an enticing equalizer on Tuesday night, as they engage in Game 4 against the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The hosting Pacers still lead the best-of-seven set 2-1 but the Knicks got on the board with yet another comeback from 20 points down on Sunday night.

Twenty final period points from Karl-Anthony Towns led the charge on another night where Jalen Brunson got stuck in foul trouble. The night was also partly defined by a change in the starting lineup, as Mitchell Robinson stepped in for Josh Hart, who nonetheless came up big with 10 boards in relief.

New York successfully avoided the seemingly inescapable 3-0 hole and now will look to get by a potential 3-1 conundrum. The Knicks previously forced a Game 7 against, ironically enough, the Pacers, in the 1995 conference semifinals but failed to finish things off in the winner-take-all finale.
