Another night another tough loss for the Knicks. After their miraculous 20-point comeback on Sunday to bring the East Finals series to 2-1, New York fans expected their team to come out with the same sense of urgency for tonight’s Game 4. But this time, the Pacers were ready for the challenge. Tyrese Haliburton and Co. took an early lead and never lost control. As a result, the Knicks lost. But what hurt them even more was Karl-Anthony Towns’ unfortunate late game injury scare.
It happened in the closing minutes of the final quarter. As the Knicks trailed by seven points with over two minutes left, they were trying to find a way to muscle a comeback. But tragedy struck when a driving Aaron Nesmith collided with a contesting KAT during an aggressive drive to the basket. Turns out, Towns’ left knee took the brunt of the impact, as he immediately fell to the floor favoring his knee.
Although KAT stayed on the floor to finish the game, it was clear that his knee was bothering him. He was hurt. After the game, Tom Thibodeau was not fully certain about Towns’ injury status heading into Thursday’s Game 5, “He was able to go back in, so that’s a good sign. We’ll see where he is after he gets evaluated.” Yes, the Center’s knee will be further evaluated as the Knicks head back to New York.
