The Indiana Pacers wins their third game in a row as they defeat the New York Knicks, 140-126, and improve to 17-14. Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers with 22 points and a career-high 23 assists. The 23 assists tie the most in a game in franchise history (Jamaal Tinsley, 11.22.01 v WAS). Aaron Nesmith went for 25 points (career-high 8 3PT FG) as Myles Turner added 28 points (season-high 6 3PT, 8 rebounds) for Indiana. Donte DiVincenzo went for a career-high 38 points, along with 6 rebounds as Jalen Brunson (28 points, 6 assists) and Julius Randle (28 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists) totaled 56 points. The Knicks move to 17-15.

The Pacers actually managed to play good defense tonight against the Knicks as they held Brunson and Randle to 9-22 from the field.

Incredible game by Tyrese Haliburton once again! Apparently New York no longer having RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickly, who just got traded, hurt the Knicks chances of winning this game.

Knicks are in the worst possible position for an NBA team. Not terrible so no high pick to rebuild, but nowhere near a real contender
they’re just in the mediocre middle, teams tend to stay there at least a decade or more

No more watching these 2021 version Knicks. Now they are starting to get SMOKED by the rest of the nba since their Christmas win. Ain’t a damn thing changed
