The New York Knicks fought hard on Friday in Indiana but lost 111-106. It was the first postseason game OG Anunoby has missed this season, and unfortunately, he won't be active in Game 4 as he recovers from a hamstring injury he suffered in Game 2.

New York has had no choice but to embrace its next man-up mentality. Alec Burks was a great example in Game 3, as he previously played only one minute in the playoffs. He finished with 14 points (4-of-6 from the field) in 21 minutes.

Jalen Brunson entered Game 3 as questionable after he hurt his foot in Game 2, but he played. It was apparent he was still experiencing some discomfort. Entering Game 4, Tyrese Haliburton's status is uncertain. He's been dealing with back spasms and hurt his ankle on Friday.
