The Indiana Pacers are one win away from heading to the NBA Finals.

The Pacers took Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, 130-131, over the New York Knicks to take a commanding 3-1 series lead.

The Knicks trailed by as many as 10 in the second quarter, as the Pacers could not miss throughout the first half. New York was able to come back, though, and lead, 64-63 with just over a minute to go, but Indiana ended the first half on a 6-0 run.

That run continued into the second half, as the Pacers went up a dozen points less than three minutes into the third quarter. But the Knicks kept within striking distance – after all, they did come back from 20 points down for a third time in these playoffs just two days ago.

But just like they did in the first and second quarters, the Pacers ended the third on a 12-5 run (the first was a 9-4 stretch). And this, too, extended into the fourth. With a 9-5 run to start the final frame, Indiana got out to a 15-point lead, their largest of the night.
