Just a disastrous few minutes for the Pacers here with Brunson out. It was a close game when he went out.

Great job, New York!

Series not over by any means, the Pacers have shown resiliency these playoffs and i expect them to make a game out of it again in Game 2. The Knicks would want a statement blowout win here just to retain their momentum going to that game.

Such a weird timeline we’re in, where Anthony-Towns is the best Big left in these playoffs

When the Pacers can't run and gun, they can't score at all. No half court offensive game.

What they said: Dominate the non Brunson minutes.

What actually happened: Got dominated in the non Brunson minutes.

Heck of a run by New York here at the worst possible time for us. The crowd is electric and the Knicks are really riding it hard. Their momentum right now is incredible.

It's gonna take a miracle to come back but, as always, we just have to go for it.

Last year the Knicks won the first two games and lost the series so keep that in mind.
