Isaiah Hartenstein matched his total for 3-pointers from the regular season with a buzzer-beating heave to pull the Knicks within six points just before halftime of Game 1 against the Pacers.
The 7-foot center was 1-for-3 from beyond the arc during 75 regular-season appearances before splashing a 46-foot shot from the right side of the Knicks’ logo at the end of the second quarter of the second-round opener.
The shot pulled the Knicks within 55-49 entering halftime after the Pacers went on an 11-2 run.
The game was tied 44-44 before Indiana’s run.
