Tyrese Haliburton explodes with a triple-double as the Pacers take a 3-1 lead against Knicks of the Eastern Conference NBA Playoffs.

The Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks 130-121 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals to establish a commanding 3-1 series lead, and they are now just one victory away from making it to the NBA Finals.

The Pacers were unable to make any baskets in the first half, and the Knicks fell behind by as much as 10 points in the second quarter.

With just over a minute remaining, New York managed to rally and take a 64-63 lead, but Indiana finished the first half with a 6-0 run.

The Knicks now need to win three straight games to salvage their season, which is horrible news.

The good news is that on Thursday night, the quest will start on their own home court.

However, it was two losses at Madison Square Garden to open up this series that have put them in this position in the first place.
