Knicks flop late again as troubling pattern continues in loss to Pacers

INDIANAPOLIS — There’s been a common thread to the Knicks’ recent defeats. They can’t close.

It wasn’t supposed to be like that for a top-heavy team with a high-priced and starry starting lineup.

But for the third time in the past four games, those starters were pummeled when it mattered most and the Knicks lost Sunday to the Pacers, 132-121.

Defense and rebounding were the predictable problems down the stretch for the Knicks (4-5), who took a two-point lead into the fourth quarter and were subsequently outscored, 40-27.

They couldn’t stop a shorthanded Pacers squad as Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin combined for 73 points.

Haliburton, who was a big part of eliminating the Knicks in last season’s playoffs, had his best game of the season with 35 points and 14 ᴀssists.
