After the New York Knicks failed to win a game with home-court advantage in Games 1 and 2, they went into Indiana and were able to close the Pacers' series lead and win Game 3 with a final score of 106-100.
It wasn't looking very bright for the Knicks, as they went into the halftime break losing by 13 points.
New York was able to come back from the break and outscore the Pacers in the second half, 61-42.
The Knicks' big four in Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and most notably, Karl-Anthony Towns combined for 78 of New York's points in the comeback win.

Heading into the game, the Knicks had to make something happen, being down 2-0 in the series and having their backs against the wall in Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns played with foul trouble. Both finished with five fouls, but the Knicks leaned on their bench more than usual and had nine players with over 10 minutes played.
Things weren't looking promising heading into the fourth quarter, as the Timberwolves trailed the Pacers 80-70.
But Karl-Anthony sparked an electrifying comeback, scoring 20 points in the final 12 minutes – matching the same number that the entire Pacers' team had scored in the quarter.
Knicks make postseason history in Game 3
As we have seen the Knicks do time and time again this postseason, they were able to outperform opponents in the second half of games.
New York made postseason history on Sunday night, having the most 20-point comeback victories in a single postseason (3) since 1998, according to ESPN.
The Knicks were able to do it twice in the second round against the Boston Celtics and now doing it again in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Game 4 between the Knicks and Pacers will take place on Tuesday, May 27.
