The Knicks squeaked by the Pacers on Monday night behind yet another stellar playoff performance from Jalen Brunson.

The All-Star guard scored 21 of his 43 points in the fourth quarter, leading New York to a 121-117 win and 1-0 series lead. Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart both stepped up down the stretch, combining to score 49 points in the gritty victory.

Myles Turner had a team-high 23 points for the Pacers, but it was a rough night for Tyrese Haliburton, who finished with six points on 2-of-6 shooting in 36 minutes. Indiana found itself on the wrong end of some controversial calls, including a kicked ball violation against Aaron Nesmith that could not be reviewed.

Can the Pacers shake off that frustrating ending and even the series? Or will the Knicks carry momentum into Game 2?
