“I think that a father-son relationship is special,” said his teammate Myles Turner. “I grew up in a house where my father was a large part of my life, and it is a very special moment – a conference final, and you are putting forward potentially. So I’m happy that a father can see his son playing.”
The Knicks joined the fourth quarter on Sunday evening in match 3 to reduce the series deficit. The 106-100 victory of the Knicks guaranteed a match 5, which will be in New York. Match 4 is scheduled for Tuesday in Indianapolis.
