The Knicks managed to take the lead, and extend it by 14 as the third quarter ended. They never looked back as they made slight work of the Pacers in Game 3.
In terms of player performances, we feel Isaiah Hartenstein deserves the game ball after a spectacular double-double performance. Overall, he ended the day with 28 points, 21 rebounds, 3 blocks, 4 assists, and a steal. He accounted for almost half of the team's rebounds en route to victory. Additionally, Jalen Brunson had a great day, leading the team in points (29) and assists (10). The Knicks will need both of these guys to continue their efforts into Game 4 and beyond.
As for the Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton ended up being the only player to drop 20. However, it was a rough day for the All-Star, who only converted 9 of 21 total field goal attempts. The rest of the team didn't play better either, with no notable performances for the rest of the team. They'll need to make some serious adjustments if they even think they can come back in this series.

However, the Knicks still need one more victory, and can't afford to lose a game and keep the Pacers' hopes alive. We'll see if they can pull it off in Game 4.
As for the Pacers, things look beyond grim right now. The team desperately needs to find a way to contain players like Brunson and Hartenstein if they want to make things right. However, winning four games in a row, while also avoiding injury, is going to be nearly impossible. Do the Pacers have what it takes to turn things around in Game 4? We'll find out soon enough.
In terms of accuracy, we feel the score and stats feel pretty authentic. However, we always strive to make it more realistic. Whether this means adjusting lineups or CPU Sliders, we hope to create an authentic and enjoyable experience for you. Regardless, we also just had a blast watching the game
Our biggest obstacle right now is accounting for injuries. We once tried to create custom rosters to account for injuries. However, this caused our streams to crash on multiple occasions. Therefore, we're trying to look for new ways to create more realistic lineups on game day.
