2025 EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: #3 New York Knicks vs #4 Indiana Pacers (IND leads 2-1)

[VicG]

Always great to see Halliburton lose! Stay humble young fella

[cgf]

That looked more like Knicks basketball

[Chuck Everett]

61-42 Knicks in the 2nd half.

[BrianInPhilly]

Toppin should have played way more especially in the 4th

[ibraheim718]

Kat needs to be as aggressive throughout the game as he was in the 4th.

He doesn't get the ball much early because Brunson is running dribbling drills.

[HotRocks34]

Thibs is figuring out what Finch is -- you can't play 8 guys against deep teams. You will get worn out, in single games and over the course of the series.

[John Woodson]

Is it me or do these Indy cats look a little shook out there

Not as shook as you when you went missing in Game 2

[CIN-C-STAR]

That could have been a great game but it was marred by the worst officiating I've seen these playoffs.
Truly awful performance from Scott Foster.
Bravo, sir. A disgustingly masterful performance of apparent incompetence in a career full of them.

[Jazz9]

Too bad for the Knicks they can only play three times in Indy because they suck in the Garden
Homecourt advantage is not a thing with them

I’m not sure what Carlisle was doing tonight, but that’s one of the worst coached games I have ever seen from him. We spent the entire second half passing up decent looks from 3 so we can run the clock down and take bad last second shots. We stopped moving the ball and tried to play McConnell iso ball for a long stretch of game that allowed the Knicks to win.

After tonight, I’m convinced the Knicks win this series and it’s because they convinced the Pacers to stop doing what’s working for them and instead try to play the Knicks game.

Absolutely choke job from everyone involved.

[scrabbarista]

66 free throws.

The NBA is cooked

Like I said, much less entertaining than the first two games.

But a good win for NYK. No shade.

[Mamba81p]

Kinda weird the comeback happened with Brunson on the bench.

Not weird at all. Brunson hogs the ball so much that he hurts the team sometimes. They don't have enough talent to win without him, but damn if he would move that ball they could beat even OKC

[Hoop Hunter]

Good game Knicks people. Awful 4th quarter for us.

We kinda forgot how to play after Nesmith went down. Then when he came back in, he tried to do to much.

[jbk1234]

Haliburton played very timidly down the stretch.

[scrabbarista]

Kinda weird the comeback happened with Brunson on the bench.

In like three different quarters - maybe four?

[Tracymcgoaty]

Kat needs to be as aggressive throughout the game as he was in the 4th.

He doesn't get the ball much early because Brunson is running dribbling drills.

THIS

He literally pounds the ever living crap out of the ball. I still believe they win game 1 if he stays on the bench. They went on a giant run to build that lead and as soon as he came in the offense just stopped.

[cgf]

And lost. Now the Pacers got that rare bad offensive game out the way they should easily drop 120+ today at home I'm afraid

Or the knicks control the pace even better and hold them under 100 for the first time this postseason in a commanding win

Hopefully. I need to see more basketball and an extended series

Almost exactly as promised

[jokeboy86]

Siakam think there was only 2 seconds left??

Again some of these modern players BBIQ is baffling.
