Is Karl-Anthony Towns poised for yet another big night vs. the Pacers in Game 4? Or will Indiana be able to keep New York's All-Star center in check, as it did in Game 2 and through three quarters of Game 3?

Overview

  • Tyrese Haliburton posted 32 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds without a turnover in Game 4, the first such playoff performance since turnovers were first recorded in 1977-78.
  • Pascal Siakam scored 30 points and Benedict Mathurin added 20 off the bench as Indiana pulled away for a 130-121 victory over New York.
  • The Pacers converted 17 Knicks turnovers into 20 points and extended their fast-break advantage in securing a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
  • Karl-Anthony Towns exited late in Game 4 with a left knee injury and will be evaluated before Game 5, putting New York’s frontcourt health in question.
  • Indiana has not dropped consecutive games since March 10 and can clinch its first NBA Finals appearance since 2000 with one more win.
