Despite having a 20-point lead vs. the Knicks in Game 3, the Pacers lost 106-100. Luckily, Indiana still has a 2-1 series lead heading into a pivotal Game 4 on Tuesday.
Midway through the third quarter of Game 3, Pacers’ SF Aaron Nemsith suffered an ankle sprain. He had to be helped off the court and did return with 7:03 left in the fourth. Indiana still lost the game, and Nesmith is battling an ankle injury. Head coach Rick Carlisle said that Nesmith will “likely” be a game-time decision for the Pacers. They could be without their top defender for the most important game of the season.
