As a complete neutral fan, this was fantastic. Between the Pacers inability to miss early in the 1Q, OG's missed layup, Toppin's missed dunk, Nesmith turning into Reggie Miller, Haliburton pulling a KD, and the OT overall, absolute cinema. 10/10 entertainment.

Hali’s choke even more iconic. Gave them an overtime lifeline for the Knicks and they still couldn’t get it done. This game might **** the Knicks mentally

Knicks could have protected that lead and won easily with a little better shot clock management. They thought they were playing the Celtics and gave the Pacers too many possessions. Big mistake.

Imagine saying something like this though after you lose in such fashion. So embarrassing, have some shame lol.
I'm sorry I don't think nesmith will hit 7 3's in 2 minutes along with the luckiest 3 pt bounce since kawhi
it's obvious we are better and the pacers defense can't hold us
No you can’t say that. That’s basketball

The Pacers did to the Knicks what the Knicks did to the Celtics. What a game! I'll take six more please!

Don't want to hear a damn thing about Haliburton being overrated again!

And the Knicks could’ve lost at the end of the 4th with their almost turnovers when Brunson tried to throw it off a pacer and he missed. He got lucky OG got ball

No, as a neutral I will enjoy that matchup. I don't need "iconic" franchises like a casual to enjoy.

The difference would be that OKC can score as well but Indiana cannot defend.

It was an up and down game, even most of the night. Pacers just had the biggest run at the end.
These are clearly even-ish teams with the Pacers holding the advantage with a road win. If youre still not respecting the Pacers, youve got a problem.

This choke job by the Knicks is enough to make me root for the pacers the rest of way. This is inexcusable
