“I felt like I let the team down in game three [a 106-100 home defeat],<\/a> so it was important for me to just come out here and make plays,” Haliburton said.<\/p>\n

“Guys put me in position to make plays and play my game. It was a big win for us.”<\/p>\n

Pascal Siakam scored 30 points and Bennedict Mathurin 20 off the bench for fourth-seeded Indiana.<\/p>\n

Jalen Brunson scored 31 points for New York, while Karl-Anthony Towns, who injured his left knee for the second consecutive game and was hobbling at the finish, scored 24 points and OG Anunoby 22.<\/p>\n

“We scored 120 points but our defence wasn’t good enough,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said.<\/p>\n

“Haliburton’s a great player. You don’t guard great players in this league individually. It’s your entire team. And if one guy is not doing their job, everyone is going to look bad.”<\/p>\n

The winners of the best-of-seven series will play the Minnesota Timberwolves or the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Finals, which begin on 5 June.<\/p>\n

The Thunder lead 3-1 in the Western Conference play-off finals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
