NBA playoffs: Pacers outlast Knicks, 111–106, for crucial Game 3 win

Andrew Nembhard's 30-foot 3-pointer with 16.4 seconds left gave the Indiana Pacers the lead Friday in an eventual 111–106 win over the New York Knicks in Game 3 of their second-round NBA playoff series. The improbable shot followed a game-tying 3 from Jalen Brunson, who finished with 26 points while struggling with a right foot injury.

Aaron Nesmith hit two free throws to provide the final margin for Indiana. The Pacers pushed the best-of-seven series to a 2–1 margin and have a chance to even the series with a win in Game 4 on Sunday.
