I am not as down on the Knicks as others here. I love their energy. They are out-working Indiana.

Indy's shots are falling. Let's see who can keep their momentum. Indy's shooting or NY's energy. This game is still waiting to settle down.

Haliburton and Siakam showing up today so far for the Pacers.

You think? The Knicks look absolutely cooked out there. Other than some tip-outs on offensive rebounds, they just seem lifeless out there. Even before the mini-Haliburton run, they are just letting IND get to wherever they want. This looks like a blow-out in the making

Doris was actually spot on. Hali needs to stop playing scared and try to score. Easily their most frustrating player all postseason given his potential.

But there you go. Nice run by him and the Pacers are up 12.

Yes the Pacers are no doubt shooting lights out but as I said earlier, play with pace and transition. Knicks look lost defensively in some of these possessions too.

I disagree. Pacers look a step faster and are doing well on the boards.

I am not really down on them, it is just attrition.  Too many injuries and guys knicked up and worn down.

I remember looking at the box score at 16-10 Indy and Haliburton had 0 points. He has 11 now. 11 of their last 18pts.

That barrage of Haliburton 3s has knocked the wind out of NY's sails.

They look deflated. Need to get out of this quarter, regain their composure and avoid getting down too much.

I think the OG experiment is over at least for a bit.

How many steps does Haliburton take on his gather on those sidestep threes?

Divencenzo is keeping NYK in it, but the Pacers are finally deciding to hound Brunson and make him a passenger out there. Tough shot attempts, not much space. He's having to defer and it's not like Brunson does much defensively so he's a negative out there.

And yeah, Anunoby is still hurt and frankly, Hart looks toast out there too. I mean he's playing, but not really crashing the boards or making hustle plays like he used to, probably due to the abdomen.

It is awful. I am so sick of the travels players are allowed get away with on those types of relocation 3s. And often step back 3s as well. Those Harden ones, sheesh.
