It's the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks in Game 4 of their series. The Pacers are up 2-1 and the Knicks need a win to keep pace in the series. Check out the live blog with scoring updates as Game 4 tips off at 7 p.m. ET.
The question for the Knicks is how many points can Carmelo Anthony score? He is one of the better, pure scorers in the league, is what many say. However, if nobody else is going to score for the Knicks, which is what happened in Game 3, then Anthony needs to have a LeBron James-like performance.
James brought the Heat back from obscurity in the second round of the playoffs last year when they were down 1-2. He dropped 40 on the Pacers to regain momentum of the series and prove that he was ready to take the Heat to the next level. It was a big game for James and now, Anthony has the chance to do the same.
The Pacers have probably not forgotten about Game 4 in last year's playoffs against the Heat, which is why many are giving them a chance to beat the Knicks and possibly face the Heat in a rematch of last year's series.
The Pacers are physical, something the Knicks lack in their lineup. The Knicks have Kenyon Martin and Amar'e Stoudemire off their bench, but they might not have enough to guard this tough Pacers team.
