Nesmith was the hero for most of that stretch, knocking down all four of his 3-pointers. The Knicks were aware that he was hot, but it didn’t matter. He kept getting good looks against a scrambling defense and drilling them.
Nesmith became the first player since at least 2003 to hit four 3s in the final three minutes of a playoff game without missing any. It was further validation for a player who was a first-round draft pick for the Boston Celtics in 2020 but never got a real chance in the rotation there. He’s thrived for three years in Indiana after being traded as part of a package for Malcolm Brogdon and finished 10th in the NBA in 3-point percentage this season.
