Somehow, the Knicks did it again.
Trailing the Pacers by 20 points in the first half and staring down a 3-0 series deficit, Karl-Anthony Towns eventually took over and helped rescue the Knicks in their 106-100 Game 3 win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday.
Tom Thibodeau’s lineup change — starting Mitchell Robinson over Josh Hart — still resulted in the Knicks trailing by 13 at halftime, but they avoided another loss and pulled within 2-1 in the series.
Towns led the Knicks with 24 points, while Jalen Brunson added 23 as he navigated foul trouble once again.
