The New York Knicks return to Madison Square Garden tonight facing elimination, down 3–1 in the Eastern Conference Finals after Tuesday’s 130–121 loss to the Indiana Pacers. Despite strong performances from Jalen Brunson (31 points), Karl-Anthony Towns (24 points, 12 rebounds), and OG Anunoby (22 points), the Knicks were undone by a brilliant Tyrese Haliburton game—a 32-point triple-double with 15 assists, 12 rebounds, four steals, and zero turnovers.
