Terrible quarter by the Pacers.

They didn’t attack KAT or Brunson, they continue’d to hold onto the ball until the last few seconds of the shot clock, they made boneheaded turnovers on like 4 or 5 possessions.

Wright hasn't remotely looked to take a shot.

With Reggie Miller, Stan Van Gundy, Doris Burke and Richard Jefferson, are we in the worst era of colour commentators in the history of NBA basketball?

Our offense definitely let up here at the end of the 3rd quarter. It did look like everyone (team and fans in the stand included) were dejected after seeing Nesmith go down. It looked like the air went out of the building for a while.

But we have to regroup. We have a 10-point lead and we absolutely need to close out this game. We cannot allow New York to come back and win this game. That would be a huge momentum boost for them.

Another bad fumble in the offensive end by McBride and a Turner dunk in the other end. For a real comeback the Knicks need to execute much better on both ends of the court. But the game ain't over just yet!

With Haliburton and Siakam on the floor, the Pacers just look like the significantly better team.

That McBride turnover was the exactly what is wrong with the Knicks. They don’t make decisions quick enough. Pacers play .5 basketball and they play 1.5 basketball.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

The Pacers let the Knicks hang around and didn’t attack their guys in foul trouble, who also happen to be their worst defenders.

This is anyone’s games. 10 points is nothing in today’s NBA and right now, the Pacers are playing the Knicks game.

Not the least bit worried for the Pacers. Easy 4th quarter incoming for them.

Nesmith needs to just re-tie his shoes, good to go. The LeBron method.
