The Knicks used a massive fourth quarter surge to defeat the Indiana Pacers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Sunday night.

Karl-Anthony Towns delivered one of the most electrifying performances in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, putting the New York Knicks on his back to stave off elimination against the Indiana Pacers.

And yet, there was Towns, a five-time All-Star (including this season), subbing out with 9 minutes left and the Knicks trailing by nine to the Pacers. He did not return until the 2:25 mark with New York still trailing by nine. Reserve center Mitchell Robinson, a defensive stud who has offensive issues, was on the court in Towns’ place.
