The Knicks are one win away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000 after a 121-91 win over the Pacers.
Jalen Brunson again led New York with 44 points, 28 of them in the first half, and seven assists while Josh Hart added 18 points and 11 rebounds.
Tyrese Haliburton had a quiet night with 13 points and five assists as Indiana was outrebounded 29-53.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to the Knicks pivotal win:
Out of the top 10 highest scoring playoff halves from a Knicks player since 1996, Jalen Brunson has 7 🤯
Brunson just had the highest scoring playoff half by a Knick in the last 25 years 😳 pic.twitter.com/0FTBdAVYNd

The Knicks have an unstoppable play, it’s called “Josh Hart GO GET IT”. But you have to say it in the tone of voice you use when telling a sitting dog to fetch the tennis ball. It’s even funnier when he’s the one throwing it into the air.

Sometime Haliburton plays like Steve Nash. Sometimes he plays like Smush Parker
