With the Knicks deep in battle against the Pacers, Karl-Anthony Towns has both wowed and worried fans. His huge playoff performance hasn't erased doubts about injury risks and the steep trade cost, sparking fierce debate about whether New York would undo the deal if given the chance.

The Indiana Pacers grabbed a 3-1 series lead over the New York Knicks after a 130-121 victory in Game 4, powered by Tyrese Haliburton's triple-double and Pascal Siakam’s scoring burst. The Pacers are one win away from returning to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2000.

Josh Hart surprised everyone by suggesting to coach Tom Thibodeau that he come off the bench for Game 3, allowing Mitchell Robinson to start. The Knicks responded with a stronger defense and took an early lead against the Pacers. This tactical change turned around the series and showcased Hart’s leadership.

The Celtics are on shaky ground heading into Game 3 against the Knicks, shooting just 25% from deep in the first two playoff games. Despite being favorites on the Vegas line, concerns linger over player health and shot selection. Analysts urge caution in betting, as Boston looks to avoid a 0-3 series spiral against a gritty New York squad.
