horrible call. refs ruined a great game

idk what you mean it was a great game for my knicks

[DaddyCool19]

If moving screens like that were called consistently, there would be easily like 10 calls each half. No way they enforce it like that, even though they should.

They let the Knicks get away with a more egregious one that same minute of play:

Meh. There was an actual kickball that went in favor of the Pacers not long before that, except it was a Pacer who kicked the ball.

How the Refs was won.

The ball clearly CLEARLY CLEANLY went off Nesmith's hands and Pacers have the ball. HOW was that a kicked ball.

You really don't think NY has the refs in their pockets?

[RHODEY]

At least everyone on this board besides Knicks fans is outraged by that atrocious end of the game. Complete travesty

Funny how you as as Pacer fan want to rally everyone else against the Knicks. You lost fair and square, your guys didnt hit shots when it mattered while the Knicks did.

It's KNICKS VERSUS EVERYBODY.

Yo booty stink go wash it

It's clear NBA wants NY vs Celtics

I thought that offensive foul call on Turner at the end of the game was horrible. Borderline call and you dont call that with 13 seconds left in a one point game. That was terrible. Pacers got screwed on that possession to possibly win the game.

Yeah. As a knicks fan I'm still dumbfounded by that call. It was technically correct but that's a call that gets ignored so often, calling it in that moment was insane.

It was a makeup call for forcing the Knicks to use a challenge on a clear last touch by Nembhard call.

Yeah it was borderline criminal. Completely ruined what had been a pretty good game.

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

The obvious question I have is why can't you challenge a kick ball?

https://official.nba.com/rule-no-10-violations-and-penalties/

Section IV—Strike the Ball

A player shall not kick the ball or strike it with the fist.
Kicking the ball or striking it with any part of the leg is a violation when it is an intentional act. The ball accidentally striking the foot, the leg or fist is not a violation.
A player may not use any part of his leg to intentionally move or secure the ball.
PENALTY:
If the violation is by the offense, the ball is awarded to the opposing team on the sideline nearest the spot of the violation but no nearer to the baseline than the free throw line extended.
If the violation is by the defense while the ball is in play, the offensive team retains possession of the ball on the sideline nearest the spot of the violation but no nearer the baseline than the foul line extended.
If the violation occurs during a throw-in, the opposing team retains possession at the spot of the original throw-in with all privileges, if any,

The instance you talked about was more the ball moving into the foot that was already there in a natural running motion by the Pacers player, therefore it's not a missed kick ball.

It was a pretty good game regardless.

An someone explain me the 3 extra points Indiana got? Hartenstein's miracle three pointer cut down Indiana's lead to 4, yet when the 3rd quarter started, they were up 6. Then, when Hart get's it to 104-104, they have put another point to Indy's score. 1 might have been an undercounted 3 pointer, but whap about the other 2? Was it the shot clock violation on Hali, that he made in time?

The obvious question I have is why can't you challenge a kick ball?

This is the question the entire basketball world should be asking.

So random and arbitrary. And obvioulsy influential.
