INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers appeared to have the New York Knicks in deep trouble in Game 3 of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Eastern Conference Finals.

Yet there was a major problem despite the Pacers taking a 20-point home lead and the ensuing belief they were en route to taking a 3-0 series lead on May 25.

That was because the Knicks are highly comfortable when they trail by a large margin.

For the third time this postseason, New York battled back from 20 down on the road to win the game. The latest impressive comeback places them in position to tie the series at 2-2 when the teams play Game 4 at Indianapolis on May 27 (May 28, Singapore time).

“We saw that we were on the brink of it looking pretty dark for us,” Knicks star Jalen Brunson said. “And the way we responded, I think it brings us closer together.”
