These refs are going to do whatever it takes for a Knicks/Celtics series. Really disappointing way to potentially decide a game like this.

Pacers were robbed. Should have been a 3-on-1 likely leading to a layup, but apparently Nesmith's hand kicked the ball. Instead it leads to a Knicks three and it's a 5-point swing. And then the refs double down with a weak offensive foul on Turner a minute later lol. DDV sold that hard.

What a shame. I'm expecting a more decisive knicks win in game 2. Pacers really needed this one.

Such a great contest tho. Big respect to both teams. Great atmosphere.

Time for nuggets/wolves

Thibs gonna Thibs....they had 4 starters play at east 42 minutes each. Still like the Knicks in 4 or 5.

Just checked. I don't have a problem with that. Babies are the best thing in life. It's still just a basketball game. If my boss didn't let me take the day off I would quit on the spot. Don't care how big a day it is.

Probably wouldn't have been a problem if it was a home game.

The longer this series goes, the more likely it is that the Pacers make things interesting at the very least. NYK should win in 5, but the high minutes are going to catch up to them quick, especially considering the pace against Indiana. Hart and Brunson in particular are going to get gassed; 46.5 and 44 MPG in 7 playoff games so far while doing everything is absurd. And if Brunson runs out of gas, the Knicks are pretty much toast either this round or the next.
