Up by as many as 20 points early on, it looked like Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers were on their way to another victory Sunday. However, thanks to stellar play from Karl-Anthony Towns, the New York Knicks managed to keep their season alive. Following another massive comeback, one former player called out the Pacers star.

This opened the door for New York to complete another 20-point comeback this postseason, which they took full advantage of.
