And looking at where the Knicks stand in this series, the Thanks for joining us. Time to head back over to the third quarter with Brian. And time for us to get back into it here in game one. Man, what can you say? Pascal Seakkum an impressive effort here today when he got good position and they got the ball to him. He was automatic. Well, you can see why they would continue to play through him. He was tough to stop, super assertive down low, just great work. And we’re back with more action from the Eastern Conference Finals on 2K Sports. And Indiana looking at who they’ve got. Seakum at power forward with Turner in its center.

He’s got 18. Wow, what a start. Three for three. Terrific play calling. Everything clicking out of the gates here. Tyrese playing big in the painted area.

I mean, they met him at the rim and temporarily prevented the point. First team foul. And these will be his second and third shots at the line here. At the line, two shots. [Applause] First free throw is good. When Towns is healthy, he is an absolute force on the offensive end of the floor. And so Towns nails them both. You can tell when he steps to the line the kind of confidence he has in himself. It’s written all over his body language. And it’s Rick Carile calling timeout here. He wants a few moments to regroup with his players. Get up. Get ready for your breaker. Indiana leading. Get on Tyrese. Hallebertton. The pass to Seakkum. Back to Hallebertton. [Applause] Turner. A screen on Brunson to the paint. Turner inside. Town’s on him. Turner no good. The Knicks have gone three of five from the field in this third quarter. Here’s Hart. Shoots over Seakum.

Pass to [Applause] Hallebertton. Nimhard outside. outside. [Applause] Bather from deep with the rebound. Brunson’s got four rebounds now. Well, despite his size, Jaylen Brunson loves to operate in the painted area. And what’s your take, guys, here on the hustle stats for New York? Yeah, they’ve collected an impressive number of steals so far, using fast hands to force some turnovers and then scoring on the other end. And also, guys, the tenacity they’ve shown on the defensive end has been something else. Look at how many blocks they’ve tallied thus far. That free throw good from Brunson. Jaylen Brunson plays bigger than his size. He’s aggressive. He’s going to go right at defenders. He doesn’t care if you’re bigger than he is. He will keep coming at you. Robinson, he’s checked in for New York. Knee Smith, he’s checked in for Indiana. Both free throws good from Brunson. And man, looking good from the line so far this half. Pacers trail by three.

Defensively, you can’t afford to get stuck on the pick. You know exactly what that takes. It takes energy. It takes activity. It takes intensity. Brunson against Hallebertton. Lets it fly.

And this could be a crucial point in the game. Well, working hard, building out a small lead, but you can’t afford any kind of let down here. Shots continuing to fall as we conclude the third. And while we have a chance, let’s go to our State Farm assist of the game. This is the definition of team chemistry. I love to see this kind of communication and connection between teammates leading to the perfect pass. Nothing better than chemistry, right? Working together to create a bucket. Fourth quarter action is upon us. Thanks as always for joining us. Knicks leading by nine. They’ve got Carl Anthony Towns. Miles McBride is out there with Cameron Payne. Then it’s OG Anobi. And it’s Robinson in at the five. So that’s who’s on the floor for the Knicks. I’ll tell you, despite his struggles at the offensive end, this team still finds themselves in control of the ball game. McConnell passes to Shot clock at six. Outside Nmith, there’s the triple. He buries it from three. What a heads up play by Obie Top and feeds the open man. Easy opportunity.

Yeah, just one of those nights for Tyrese Hallebertton. He’s kept his foot on the accelerator and he’s putting it to the defense. And here’s Payne outside and the rebound goes to the Pacers. It’s impressive how they’ve overcome his cold streak tonight. Everyone stepping in to fill the gap. Pass to Towns. That’s good. That’s now his seventh made field goal in 15 tries. They have no answer defensively inside. [Applause] Hallebertton outside from 13 and it’s in off the glass. Hallebertton’s got 19 points. Well, there’s an unpredictability to his offensive game.

I’m not sure what’s happened to now. Here’s McConnell on the way outside for McConnell. No good from outside. They really have a commanding lead, not just in points, but in rebounds as well. The shot by Towns, no good. Pacers trail by 10. And he lobbs it up and the slam dunk by Tooffin. The chemistry Tophin has with his teammates. Just get up over the rim and finish it with authority. Obie Payne against McConnell. Now here’s Anobi. Not a lot of room and even from where we’re sitting, you could clearly tell it was a foul. 15 OG at the line. Two shots. on the miss. That free throw is good for Anobi. What’s amazing about OG Anobi, this guy, one of the best wing defenders in the league. You almost have to game plan for what he brings defensively. Indiana making a switch here. Miles Turner, he’s checked in for Bryant. Seakum comes in for Tophen. Benedict Matherin, he’s checked in for Nismith. And it’s Nimhart in for [Applause] McConnell. Both free throws good from Anobi. Pacers trail by 10. And it’s Rick Carl calling timeout here. He wants to make sure they’re purposeful with the game [Music] [Applause] [Music] plan. Here they are. All right, let’s check in with Alli the Force. Hey guys, during that last break, I heard Rick Carile as he talked with the team. Coach wanted his guys to ignore the scoreboard. He said, “Don’t even look at the numbers. Just take it possession by possession. Make every chance count and we’ll see where we stand at the end of this game.” Back to you guys. All right. Appreciate it, Ally. Here’s Matherin. Shot from the inbound and it’s good on the layin. And Matherin is an impressive scoreer. Skilled at finding ways to convert around the rim. Outside [Applause] Anobi. Back to [Applause] Brunson. Just five on the clock. Brunson uses the glass on the layup. Brunson’s got 31 points. Jaylen Brunson outstanding at finding avenues to the cup. Here’s Hallebertton. And so he draws the foul headed to the line to shoot a pair. It goes on Josh [Applause] Hart the line. Two [Applause] shots. Shooting two. First one falls for him. Yeah, it’s hard to argue against Hallebertton as the best passer in the league right now. I know he’s the most exciting for sure. [Applause] Gets one then misses the second attempt from the line. And Towns has got the ball here for the New York [Applause] Knicks. Here’s Brunson. And there’s the drive. Hallebertton with some nice D. Pacers trail by [Applause] nine. Screen on Brunson. Here’s Halbert. Indiana again missing. You got to move past that one. I mean, they’d want him to take that again, and they should because it’s when you start turning down that kind of look that your offense can start to bog down a bit. How about the creativity, the criticism? That’s a rare combination for a guy his size. Go to work, cat. Once again, an explosive highlight on the AT&T 5G slam [Applause] cam. Seakum pass to Dear. It’s good. and give the assist to Seakkum. Seakum’s got three assists tonight. Well, if you offer no resistance defensively, he’s going to knock down the three. It’s really that simple, guys. Pass to Brunson [Applause] [Music] over Hallebertton. Pascal Seyaka with a rebound. No one near him on that one. And I’m not sure why he felt like he needed away. The ball’s knocked loose from the block. Nice touch on the bank shot. Seakum’s got 28. Well, this is your 2019 most improved player. And now Seakum trying to become that franchise level guy carrying the load tonight. Back to Brunson, the 11-footer. Count it. Brunson’s got four points now in a quarter. Yeah, we talk about having a high shot IQ. Jaylen Brunson just four shots. You want to concede the mid-range jumper? He’s more than content to take it. And we’ll have a timeout here. Called by Rick Carile, rallying his guys to make sure they all know the plan. [Applause] 144 left to play in the fourth quarter. Oh boy, what a clever decision there by Pascal. Seattle sticks with the shot and wins it to the free throw line. [Applause] First free throw is good and that narrows the gap to seven. I think the value of Pascal Seiakum is the skill set on both ends of the floor. He can play multiple positions either end and he can lift his team in any number of ways. See hits him both. And those were big shots. At this point in the game, you can’t afford to leave any points at the line. Brunson gets Hallebertton. Oh, and Turner with a block. I tell you, you love the attitude of Miles Turner. No one is getting off these shots when he’s nearby. No one. Hallebertton pass to them. Seaka looking it [Applause] over. Shot clock at [Applause] five. And it’s New York with a rebound. Anovi on the wing. He’s covered by Siaka. Oh, got that one quick. Now he’s in his bag from beyond the mark right now. You see his confidence and I think the defender knows once he gets cooking, look out. The bucket looks awfully big to him right now. Hallebertton on the wing. The shot that time not on target. Some solid defense from Brunson. Towns passes to Brunson. Seakam against Hartino Bridges Pin with a rebound and it’s Indiana’s ball. They trail by nine. There’s the three. Seakum pass to the mark. Can’t drop the tough three-pointer.
