Andrew Nembhard shined under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden with his best playoff performance thus far in his young NBA career.standout finished with 20 points, six assists and five rebounds to help the Indiana Pacers blow by the injury-riddled New York Knicks, 130-109, on Sunday in New York. Nembhard became the fourth former Gonzaga player to score 20 points in a Game 7, joining John Stockton, Kelly Olynyk and Domantas Sabonis.
Nembhard got going early with five points, including a 3-pointer in transition, with a pair of dimes in the first quarter. He found Pascal Siakam on a sharp pass down the middle of the lane for an easy dunk to make it 13-7. Nembhard also knocked down a midrange jumper over Jalen Brunson for his first field goal.
Still, the second-year pro never wavered. After struggling for much of Game 3, Nembhard shook off his shooting woes and knocked down a 32-foot 3-pointer in the final seconds to give the Pacers their first win of the series and avoid a disastrous 3-0 hole. Indiana went on to win Game 4 in blowout fashion to even the series, only to lose by 30 points in Game 5.
