Haliburton`s historic triple-double propels Pacers past Knicks, inching them closer to the NBA Finals.

The Indiana Pacers surged ahead in the Eastern Conference Finals, defeating the New York Knicks 130-121 in a thrilling Game 4. With this victory, the Pacers now hold a commanding 3-1 series lead, just one win away from securing a spot in the NBA Finals.

Tyrese Haliburton delivered a historic performance, achieving a triple-double with 32 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds. Remarkably, he became the first player in NBA playoff history to record at least 30 points, 15 assists, and 10 rebounds without committing a single turnover. His precision and poise were instrumental in the Pacers` success, showcasing his ability to rise under pressure.

Pascal Siakam also made a significant contribution, adding 30 points to the scoreboard, while Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 31 points in a valiant effort. Off the bench, Bennedict Mathurin shone brightly, scoring 20 points in just 12 minutes, providing the Pacers with a crucial spark.

As the Knicks face a daunting 3-1 deficit, they must rally to avoid elimination, a feat no team has accomplished in the Eastern Conference Finals since 1981. Game 5 is set for Thursday in New York, where the stakes couldn`t be higher for both teams. The NBA Finals are slated to begin on June 5, 2025.
