No. They got hurt and lost to a team that would've ran away with the 2 seed out west.

Love Mitchell man. What a playoff performer. Garland needs to go - just too much of a defensive liability and that will always be exposed in the playoffs

Impressive stuff from the Pacers. Mentally tough team. They could have easily punted this game when they were down big.

So seriously how valuable is Jarrett Allen? He's what people think Gobert is.

Pacers learned to win in playoffs last year. This year they came back an experienced squad. Same group. It's showing here.

The Pacers are going to be damn hard for the Knicks to beat. Their offense and attack game is going to put KAT through hell, New York has other holes they can exploit too.

I don't blame him because he's obviously hurt, but he's 8 for 24

Nice series, well done by my Pacers, happy to see them advance, let's go ECF!
