Great win. Game was so close all the way. I feel a little bad for the Pacers because of DiVincenzo‘s great acting job, but I’ll get over it (tic)

Turner did move into Donte and he had to fall to make sure the ref saw it. It was less obvious than the foul Caitlan Clark drew against UConn. The review comms agreed with both calls => comes down to, do you call it at that point of the game ?
The kick ball call was a clear error - that is all on the refs.
But like McConnell said afterwards, lots of things happened in the last few minutes that they could have done better.....

I agree that Turner did move into him, but it was an incidental foul that Donte did a great job reacting too. Although I am happy with the outcome, I saw way too much of this acting by Duke in the ACC. All their players should have had easy paths to Hollywood.

I am all for getting the calls right and wouldn’t want an egregious mistake stand but the review process slows the end of the game a lot and forces the officials/league to call ticky tack BS fouls. I am not wise enough to thread the needle between letting them play and not missing significant calls. Last night at the end these went our way. You can bet that in games 3 and 4, Indy will be the beneficiary of some calls.

Embid f up Robby already short rotation need precious to contribute big time …. Sims will get a shot if bigs get in foul trouble … this series won’t be easy either

I have faith in OB+Precious.
the big problem is burnout of the starting 5 with all the minutes they are on the court - guess they can rest in the off-season.

Injuries are definitely taking a toll. Hope Brunson is okay.

Seems the Knicks are being taxed a player per win. OB had a great start....hope he is able to return for game 3.
Precious is good, commits silly fouls, but he should get more playing time and some designed plays on offense.
Notice Deuce is not making his treys ??
John treated his nephew to a HUGE win .... I bet he is happy !!
Why do Nuggets and Minn get 3 days off between games ?

if they make through to the finals, they are not going to have much left in the tank...

Will they have enough players to field a team?

I panicked when Burks came into the game I see they have a guy named Diatke on the bench - who the heck is he ?? At some point they will have to let the Toppin bros go up against each other, don't you think ?

Team is really fun to watch …. They got slot of heart ….the rebounding is incredible and they’re really not big …..I expect a loss in Indy and expect adanoby to miss 1 or both games … hamstrings can tear or pull … if it’s torn he’s done for remainder if not he’ll be back I’m sure but how effective …. He’s really a key piece ….. since his acquisition knicks are 20-3 ….. shows u just how inefficient Barrett was to soft and too inconsistent with his jumper …. Young kid though he may improve but he don’t have the ability to defend like this guy

Honestly, the whole reason I wanted to be a sports writer was to be able to attend games like this and then try to describe what it was like to be there. Every day you hope for something like we got Wednesday at MSG. Thanks for reading. It’s a privilege every day. No lie.
