Myles Turner’s three-point barrage got the Pacers within seven in the third quarter. Then the Knicks went on a 19-1 run to erase any doubt about the outcome.

Turner’s outside shooting gave the Pacers hope, and he countered some of the damage Isaiah Hartenstein was doing on the offensive glass against him. But after his third straight three-pointer, Indiana wouldn’t make a field goal for seven straight minutes.
Not so for the Knicks, who scored all over the court, including some big dunks involving Donte DiVincenzo. First, he found a streaking Miles "Deuce" McBride for a jam.
DiVincenzo ➡️ Deuce for the slam! ️

By the time Ben Sheppard made a three with 2:56 to go, the Knicks were up 22 points and the Pacers were reeling. And the supposedly tired Knicks were blowing them out in the second half.
The Knicks ended up beating the Pacers, 121-91.
