Pacers celebrated too early, I wonder if they can lock back in

Even if the Knicks win this game, that was a choke.

I think Knicks have this now. Pacers blew their load with that comeback.

Indiana almost seems like a team of destiny when you consider how many crazy games they pulled out this year.

Man 20 minutes ago I was ready to call it a night. You really just never know when you're going to get a classic moment in the NBA. That's so crazy.

This Indiana team is magical I swear.

Here's my problem with the Knicks.. Towns and Brunson are always too busy trying to outdo each other that they start daydreaming. The two smartest players on the Knicks are OG and Hart and Brunson and Towns are the two dumbest. How do you let this game get to overtime? By Towns and Brunson both fighting like little bitches by chucking or dominating the ball to see who gets to be the King of NYC>

Lmao he did the choke too soon.

Too soon.

Like Nick Young celebrating a 3.


I mean, he did hit the shot, Nick could only dream of that. :lol:

This is intense!
LeBron has a 17.8% field goal percentage and a 12.5% 3-point percentage in clutch situations, and also made 20 of 116 game winning/tying shots in 4th/OT during his career :wink:

Jesus what a chokejob by the Knicks. Pacers are really relentless. Even if they lose in OT, I think they now have an edge.

Hali has crazy confidence. Ended up being a 2 but dude took a detour and ran back to the 3 point line to try to win the game instead of getting a great look at the rim.

Carlisle's challenge was a game saver for Indy.

I didn't realize they were up 2 only. Hali has some balls going for the win...
