The New York Knicks overcame a 19-point deficit to defeat the Indiana Pacers. Who stepped up against New York’s bitter rivals?

The New York Knicks entered Sunday, Nov. 5 with a chance to be above .500 for the first time since Dec. 30, 2016. Unfortunately, the Knicks fell behind the Indiana Pacers by as many as 19 points in what was shaping up to be a one-man show from Kristaps Porzingis.

Behind a monster fourth quarter from the franchise player and timely contribution from his supporting cast, however, the Knicks stormed back to stun the Pacers.

108. 27. 101. 100. Final

The ’90s Knicks would be proud.

With a bitter rivalry resumed at Madison Square Garden, it appeared as though the Pacers would run away with a convincing victory. Domantas Sabonis dominated the post in the first half, and Darren Collison recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists.

Despite entering the fourth quarter with an 84-72 deficit, however, the Knicks fought back and handed the new-look Pacers a heartbreaking loss.

New York outscored Indiana by a margin of 36-17 in the fourth quarter, and 59-39 in the second half. After allowing 62 points in the first half, the Knicks made adjustments and came out with a competitive fire that ultimately won the game.

The question is: Who stepped up for the New York Knicks during the 108-101 victory over the Indiana Pacers?
