The Knicks pulled off another massive comeback — the signature of their pixie-dusted playoff run — on Sunday night to win Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, overcoming a 20-point deficit in <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/25/sports/knicks-comeback-magic-strikes-again-in-game-3-win-over-pacers/">an improbable (or was it?) 106-100 win over the Pacers</a> in Indianapolis.

The Knicks, despite unveiling a new starting lineup <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/26/sports/josh-hart-volunteered-to-come-off-bench-for-knicks-in-game-3/">without Josh Hart</a>, trailed by 20 after Tyrese Haliburton’s pick-two late in the second quarter, by 15 after an <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/25/sports/annoying-little-s-t-t-j-mcconnell-yet-again-pestering-knicks-entering-game-3/">annoying</a> T.J. McConnell pullup with 3:11 left in the third and by 10 at the start of the fourth quarter.
