Nembhard’s three-pointer destroyed what little was left of the Knicks.
Andrew Nembhard didn’t score all night after missing all six of his shots.. It was the 46th minute and the score was tied at 102 when he finally made his debut, shooting into the Knicks’ hoop. Soon after, he found himself with a hot potato. There were 16 seconds remaining, again with the score tied at 106, and possession was over. He hit a triple from nine meters and the ball went in. turning the fateful night into an unforgettable memory. Jalen Brunson formed a big three on the next drive and The Pacers ultimately won 111–106 to make their series debut (2–1)..
Nembhard was the hero, but the one who carried Indiana all night and helped lead the comeback in the fourth quarter was Tyrese Haliburton. Point guard scored 35 points, surpassing his personal best in the playoffs. “I probably held the ball too long, otherwise I should have been more aggressive in attack. It was a great shot. “Drew really stepped up when we needed him to,” he analyzed the decisive play.
That’s how the Knicks, or what little was left of them, died. New York played without Julius Randle, Bojan Bogdanovic, Mitchell Robinson and O.G. Anunoby.. Brunson also suffered with a foot injury suffered in the second game. As a result, he was noticeably tired, and perhaps that’s why he wasn’t doing well in the last stretch. He finished with 26 points. “I knew this moment, I knew everything that was happening, but I made a terrible decision. It’s something you can learn,” he said of his latest release.
Survival exercise
For the Knicks, it was an exercise in survival. They played with eight players again.although Jericho Sims only enjoyed four minutes of play. Josh Hart He rested at least five minutes after doing so in only one of the last four games. He had 10 points and 18 rebounds. Donte DiVincenzo He was the leading scorer among players in the Big Apple since 31 points and an impressive 7/11 in threes..
Pascal Siakam played a pivotal role in the Pacers’ victory, scoring 26 points and seven rebounds, while Myles Turner finished with 21 goals, 10 assists.. However, it was Nembhard who scored the sensational kick after a performance that was impossible to forget within the first 46 minutes. “You just know when a player makes a 3-pointer like that and the game isn’t decided,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said.
