Indiana coach Rick Carlisle's criticism of the officiating in the first two games of the series apparently paid off as the Pacers tied the series at 2-2 with a dominating 121-89 victory on Sunday. The Pacers built a 43-point lead at one point and took advantage of New York's 33.7 percent overall shooting as the Knicks missed 30 of 37 3-point attempts. The good news for the Knicks is they are going home where they won Games 1 and 2, and NBA teams that suffer a humiliation usually bounce back in a big way—especially in the playoffs—when the emotional swings are dramatic. New York is 8-1 OVER following an ATS loss and 7-1 OVER its past eight games overall as a favorite. The Knicks are 13-3 OVER playing with one day of rest and Indiana is 6-0 OVER as a road underdog. Take the Knicks on the moneyline and the OVER.
