NBA playoffs: Pacers crush Knicks, 121–89, in Game 4 Mother's Day massacre

After winning many close games so far through the 2024 NBA playoffs, the New York Knicks hit a wall in Game 4 of their second-round series with the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers cruised to a 121–89 win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, evening the best-of-seven series at 2–2.

Tyrese Haliburton showed no effects from an aching ankle that looked bad after Friday's Game 3 and back spasms that have troubled him throughout the postseason. He led Indiana with 20 points, shooting 4-for-10 on 3-pointers, adding six rebounds and five assists. But he played only 27 minutes as both teams gave their starters a rest for the entire fourth quarter.
