First game in this match-up tomorrow. Thibs runs the Knicks starters hard, and they have two extra games behind them so far, but whether that has a major impact, who knows. Pacers proved themselves in dispatching the Cavs so could well cause more trouble.
Knicks 4-3?! Anyone dare guess?

I could be convinced of all possible outcomes in this series. Both teams have moments where they look poor and then moments where they look unbeatable. Both clutch too so late games should be awesome.
Coin flip.

I'm just glad we're getting more playoff basketball at MSG. Not many things in sports are more fun than that.

What a comeback by Pacers. Knicks really did choke.

The number of times these play-offs that I've either turned off a game or considered switching off because it looked like a foregone conclusion... Thankfully this one I kept watching. Haliburton running back out, rushing the shot, the high bounce, the choke gesture, Reggie commentating, the fans signalling with two fingers that it wasn't a gamewinner - brilliant NBA drama.

I know he scored 43 but Brunson iso ball show cost Knicks again. They were flying in the 4th with him on the bench but their offence ground to a halt when he came back on and his 5 fouls meant he couldn't play D.
Terrible coaching by Thibs but when your star player's dad is an assistant, what else was going to happen?

Just caught up on this one. Incredible.
Brinson has been the best clutch player this season, this one just didn't work for him. His team made a lot of mistakes in the last 2 minutes.
How's this for a stat
Teams trailing 7+ in the last 50 seconds of the 4th quarter or overtime in a playoff game are 4-1702 all time. The Pacers have 3 of those 4 wins and they're all this year's playoffs
