Overview

• Tom Thibodeau reinserted Mitchell Robinson into the starting five in place of Josh Hart for Game 4, replicating the lineup that delivered a narrow win in Game 3.
• That group failed to gain traction, falling behind early and logging a team-worst minus-20 for Robinson, who did not play in the fourth quarter.
• Indiana capitalized on home court with a balanced attack to claim a 130-121 victory at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
• Pacers coach Rick Carlisle keyed his game plan on containing OG Anunoby and emphasized full-court pressure and rebounding to disrupt New York’s rotations.
• With the series now 3-1 in Indiana’s favor, the Knicks return to Madison Square Garden needing a win to avoid elimination.
