New York's point guard Brunson played a key role in the team's victory by scoring 29 points despite returning from the court in the second quarter due to a leg injury.
While Brunson was unable to play in the second quarter after injuring his right leg during the first quarter, Indiana took a 73-63 lead in the first half.
New York seemed to be losing Brunson, who scored 40 or more points in four consecutive games in these playoffs.
However, Brunson returned to the court at the start of Game 3 and sent New York fans into a frenzy.
The reason New York fans were so enthusiastic about [Brunson](https://network-946571.mn.co/posts/54356845) was because he reminded them of Willis Reed (died in 2023), who overcame an injury to play in Game 7 of the championship game between New York and the LA Lakers in 1970.
53 years ago on this day, Reed played in the second half despite suffering a thigh muscle tear, helping New York win the game.
New York, encouraged by Brunson's return, turned the tide to 99-91 in the third quarter.
Brunson scored 14 points in the fourth quarter and did not allow Indiana to come back.
[OB Onunoby and Donte DiVincenzo](https://theomnibuzz.com/hanwha-shaking-off-its-third-consecutive-loss-meets-doosan-and-kia-ryu-hyun-jin-99-wins-again/) scored 28 points each to help New York win.
Indiana fought hard with Tyrese Haliburton scoring 34 points, but suffered two consecutive losses and headed to their home stadium for Game 3 with heavy steps. [19가이드03](https://www.19guide03.com)
