The Indiana Pacers held off the New York Knicks 106-104 on Friday in Indianapolis, in a 4th quarter that stayed within 5 through its last 2:00. Andrew Nembhard's 19-foot pullup put Indiana ahead for good at 89-87 with 10:28 left, and a 10-0 Pacers run soon stretched it to 102-89. The Knicks crawled back but never got closer than 2. OG Anunoby blocked an Aaron Nesmith three in the final minute with Indiana ahead 106-100, and the Knicks took the rebound. The Pacers then gave the ball back on an 8-second violation, still up 106-100. Mikal Bridges' pullup jumper made it 106-104 with 0:10.2 left, Anunoby stole a Pascal Siakam pass on the next possession, and Karl-Anthony Towns missed a 15-foot turnaround with 0:00.9 left.

The shooting was a wash

Each team made 39 field goals. New York shot 42.9% from the floor, Indiana 43.3%.

Jalen Brunson led everyone with 33 points and 11 assists, 16 of those points in the 3rd quarter. That quarter ended with a 10-0 Knicks run that cut a 85-74 deficit to 85-84.

Indiana's misses came back

Indiana grabbed 17 offensive rebounds. New York grabbed 8.

Ivica Zubac had 9 of the Pacers' offensive rebounds among his 13 boards. He also made 5 field goals in a row, a streak that began with 6:33 left in the 2nd quarter and ran into the 3rd quarter.

On the full glass, the count was 50 rebounds for Indiana and 43 for New York. Towns pulled down 15 of the Knicks' total to go with his 23 points, 12 of them in the 1st quarter.

Indiana lived at the line

The Pacers made 18 free throws on 25 attempts. The Knicks went 10 of 13.
