Watch: Pacers C Myles Turner makes absurd three-pointer in first quarter vs. Knicks

By Clark Dalton | Last updated 5/12/24

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner possibly made one of the luckiest shots of his career in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks.

With 4:43 remaining in the first quarter, Turner drilled a heavily contested 26-foot three-pointer before the shot clock expired. The remarkable shot gave the Pacers a 17-6 lead.

Indiana dominated the first quarter, racing to a 69-41 first-half lead. Thus far, Turner has 10 points, three rebounds, three blocks and two assists.

New York center Mitchell Robinson recently injured his left ankle and is expected to be out for six to eight weeks. This postseason, Robinson was second on the team behind power forward Precious Achiuwa (1.6) in blocks per game (1.2).

To overcome a 2-1 deficit and win the series, the Pacers should keep feeding Turner, who could exploit New York's thin frontcourt. Through the series' first three games, he averaged 16.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists on 45 percent shooting.
