Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Nesmith started Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks on Tuesday despite nursing an ankle injury.

As Jalen Brunson took accountability for his defensive shortcomings in the Knicks’ 130-121 Game 4 loss to the Pacers on Tuesday, his co-star Karl-Anthony Towns made sure the blame didn’t fall squarely on the team’s captain.

Jalen Brunson faced “flopper” chants from Pacers fans as the Knicks dropped Game 4 and fell behind 3-1 in the series.

New York Knicks superstar guard Jalen Brunson lamented his team's lack of discipline Tuesday night following a 130-121 loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The result was a 130-121 Pacers win in which Indiana shot 51.1% from the field and 40.6% from the 3-point line, unable to corral star guard Tyrese Haliburton, who recorded 32 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds in the game. The Pacers routinely beat the Knicks on switches and back cuts off the ball.

Opponents constantly hunt Jalen Brunson on the defensive end. For as talented of a scorer he is, his lack of size and quickness make him a weak defender.

Indiana has been here before in these playoffs. The Pacers better hope Tuesday's Game 4 brings familiar vibes as well.

The Knicks' 20-point comeback at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Game 3 over the Pacers makes Eastern Conference finals 2-1. Check out the highlights:
