In a stunning display of skill and resilience, Obi Toppin launched a dagger three-pointer to seal the Indiana Pacers’ commanding victory over the New York Knicks in Game 4, pushing them to a 3-1 series lead. Toppin’s clutch shot came at a pivotal moment, propelling the Pacers to a decisive ten-point advantage and sending shockwaves through Madison Square Garden.

Tyrese Haliburton, returning from a nine-game absence, showcased an extraordinary performance, notching a triple-double with 30 points, 12 rebounds, and a staggering 15 assists—all without a single turnover. This remarkable feat makes him the first in NBA playoff history to achieve 30 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists, and zero turnovers, joining legends like Oscar Robertson and Nikola Jokic in the elite company of statistical excellence.

The Pacers demonstrated their offensive firepower and strategic prowess, with Haliburton orchestrating plays that left the Knicks scrambling. His ability to penetrate defenses and distribute the ball effectively was on full display, as he not only found Toppin for that critical three but also dominated the game with his aggressive shooting, taking 23 shots in total.

As the series heads to a potential closeout game on Thursday, the stakes couldn’t be higher for the Knicks, who find themselves on the brink of elimination. Historically, teams trailing 3-1 face an uphill battle, with few managing to stage a comeback. The Pacers are now just one win away from a historic berth in the NBA Finals, and the pressure is mounting on New York to rise and fight back.

With the eyes of the basketball world on them, both teams brace for what promises to be an electrifying showdown. Will the Pacers clinch their place in history, or can the Knicks defy the odds and turn the tide? Only time will tell as the countdown to Game 5 begins.
