Indy played a great game going into the 4th quarter in game 3. Up by 10 and held KAT to 4 points. Then KAT went crazy scoring 20 points and Indy had it's worst scoring quarter of the series only getting to 20(at home!). INDY went something like 5/19 in the 4th, missed multiple driving layups/short jumpers, and fouled NY a bunch resulting in 15 of 16 made free throws...just in the 4th!!!! From 3, Indy was 5/25 while NY was 11 of 32(Indy avgs 13 made 3's a game - reg season and playoffs). If anything, NY won because they got lucky that INDY fell apart in the 4th(credit to KAT for going off though). Sure, the Knicks put up a good fight these playoffs, but in all 3 series they have played in, they have won games because their opponents have screwed up/played poorly, not necessarily because they played better.
Are the Pacers only going to get 5 3's all game(shooting 20%)? I doubt that. The wildcard tonight is Nesmith...he's very aggressive on defense but a Sheppard/McConnell combo replacing him should be enough to offset his contributions. I think Indy takes this game getting the 1st home win of the series and it goes back to NY for a win or lose game 5 for NY. Indy needs to come out with more urgency tonight and not let game 4 get away from them like game 3.

McConnell 10+ points(might get more playing time if Nesmith is limited, but has hit 10+ in 4 of last 5)
