The New York Knicks have little to be proud of after losing to the last-place, injury-ravaged Indiana Pacers on their home floor, but Karl-Anthony Towns did briefly electrify Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night.
All hope seemed lost in the final seconds of the game, as Landry Shamet misfired on a 3-pointer that would have given the team the lead. Indy did not account for a hurtling Towns, however. The star center recovered the ball in mid air and drew a foul with 0.2 seconds left on the clock, via the BrickCenter X account. He made both free throws to tie the score at 124, but the Knickerbockers fell 137-134 in overtime.

New York was unable to capitalize on the second chance that Towns gifted it and once again suffered a bitter defeat versus the Pacers. With or without Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana continues to punch this franchise in the gut.
