ISO on Anovi. Quality defender. Doesn’t matter. Mathan makes the play. Brunson for three. Yes. And our final score here at MSG. [Music] Thank [Music] [Music] you. Heat. Heat. N.

Just five to [Applause] shoot. Fires for three. Score the basket. His second of two attempts. Well, that’s a shot he can hit if you give it to him. You need a little more energy on defense that next trip down on the wing. Bridges. He’s covered by Hallebertton. They need this. And Muel Bridges good for three. He’s got eight. Yeah, I like the back and forth here. You’re showing confidence from right. It seems like they’ll find out who can make the deepest three. Right now, it’s a shootout. Now here’s M defended by McBron. McConnell kicks to Hallebertton. He trains it as the shot clock ticks down and the Pacers lead by three. And that bucket adds to what has been a big difference in points in the paint between the two teams. And the timeout called here by Tom Fibino. He’s going to have a discussion here on the sideline. A different look for New York. Carl Anthony Towns comes in for Aua. And it’s Jaylen Brunson in for Miles McBride. So an entirely new group in now for Indiana. Turner’s checked in for Thomas Bryant. Pascal Seakum comes in for Chopin. Benedict Matan. He’s checked in for Aaron Nesmith. And Andrew Nehard’s subbed in for TJ McConnell. And so it’s Brunson with it. He brings it up for the New York Knicks. They trail by three. [Applause] And the call on the shot that sends him to the line. Brunson’s a little smaller guard, but he’ll get in there and tussle with the big boys. And a moment here to take a look at some of the hustle stats for the Pacers. Their defense has been so aggressive right out of the gate, wasting no time shutting shooters down here with authority. They’ve also done a great job of taking turnovers and producing out of that. Working really hard that they’re not wasting extra chances that they’re creating. That one falls for Brunson. And no matter what, one of the big positives they can take away from this game is how well they perform at the line. [Applause] Good on both. At this point, you might as well go ahead and chalk up the points when he’s at the free throw line. Pretty much automatic. Hallebertton for three. They grab their own miss. Not his best night from the field, but looking for other ways and finding them so he can chip in. Anobi passes to Brunson. Back to Anobi outside Towns. Pass to Anobi. Grunson outside from deep three-point land. New York no good that time either. Indiana [Applause] leading Seakum outside. Nehard with it. Hallebertton outside. Now here’s Turner defended by [Applause] Towns. Hallebertton against Brunson. [Applause] takes a three. Brunson from long distance and Brunson capable here of having these binges scoring the basketball. Hallebertton feeling it out a bit. Matan shot off that time. Bridges with some nice [Applause] defense. Towns against [Applause] Yako. Towns sets the pick for Brunson. No good with the triple. Indiana trailing here down low. Towns with the steel. And a fast break now for New York. Anomi has the open look. Sinks the triple. on. He’s got his third basket of the night right there. And we’ll get a look at how the hustle stat game has been going for New York. I mean, they’ve come out aggressive defensively, getting into them and and coming up with some cookies along the way. They’ve done a great job tonight of getting out in transition. So, that focus on fast break add to your total in a hurry. A different look for New York. Aua, he’s checked in for Robinson. And Miles McBride subbed in for Muel Bridges. The Pacers also with a sub. McConnell’s checked [Applause] in. Pacers trail by five. Outside Turner. Pass to Siakum to stop the price. and foul on the shot. He’ll shoot two at the free throw line. It’s going to be on Precious Aua. See, I can craving that. He wants you. He has to come get him. He’ll take his third and fourth free throw shots of the game right here. [Applause] And that one misses. Such a solid allaround player. Someone who can score it, rebound it, and pass it well. Dylon Wright, he’s checked in for New York. [Applause] And the second free throw. Good. The Knicks leading by four. Pass to [Applause] Aua. Brunson against McConnell. Brunson. No good. We’ll have a hard time shaking that one off. Perfect position. Plenty of space. Siaka passes to Nemo and it’s out of bounds. The Knicks will take it the other way. Josh, he’s jumped in for the Knicks. Male Bridges comes in for right. Bridges. [Applause] 139 left now here in the [Applause] second. That’s too hard. Back to Brunson. [Applause] Oh, Brunson feeling his way in there. And aren’t we here with Brunson? This is what we expect from him. Crafty and efficient at passes to Nemo. 107 left to play here in the second quarter. takes it out to Seakkum and the three off target. And offensively they’ve gotten stuck on the perimeter falling in love with the jump. Here’s Nemhard defended by Bridges and he drives in. McConnell passes to Nemo. Turner with a screen on Bridges. Five to shoot. Pass to Siakum. There’s the triple and the Pacers can’t get it to go. And here are the Knicks. They’re on a 13-3 run. Seakum against Hart. Anobi outside. Tipped away now. Meatin. Seiakum right side. He gets that one. Seakum’s got 13. And that’ll do it for the first half. A competitive game so far. Knicks out front. They lead by four. And a chance now to send it over to David Aldridge standing by. Courts. Okay, David. Much appreciated. And now time for halftime. So, we’ll be back in just a bit to get the third quarter underway. Without the points they’ve gotten off the bench, this game wouldn’t be as close as it is. And looking at where the Knicks stand in this series, that is more than enough of us. Let’s send you back to the [Applause] And we’re ready to get back into the action here in game one. Let’s see what this quarter has in store for us. You know, Jaylen Brunson has been exceptional here, guys. Wow. Well, we’ll find out if they were able to find an answer for him over the break. He was scoring with ease in that first half. Yeah. Just way too easy out there. And I’m sure coach is going to make that a priority at halftime. They’ve got OG Anobi. Rich is out there with Jaylen Brunson. Then it’s Josh Hart and it’s Town in at the center position. So that’s who’s on the floor for the Knicks. That free throw no good and a talented swingman. Bridges is someone to keep an eye on as he continues to round out his game. [Music] [Applause] So he comes up empty missing both racers trail by four passes to Nemo. Good D by Anobi. The Knick shooting for the game at 42%. Must be Brunson scanning the floor. Another shot out to Bridges. A three-pointer off the mark. And you don’t want to give up that kind of look too often. Pass to Turner. Hallebertton with it. And he’s fouled pretty hard on that shot, but he’s got the chance to pick up the points at the line. You can’t be overzealous with Hallebertton when you are. He embraces that. He got the whistle. So far, he’s hit all of his shots at the foul line, going four for four. Take a break. Take a break. Two shots. [Applause] That one is off. And Howard Burton, a guy you just continue to see grow game by game. An exceptional talent and a great mind. [Applause] He hits the second from the line. And here’s Bern. He’ll bring it up for New York. Three-point lead to the inside. Here’s Towns. And they call the foul. So a chance at the line for one more coming up. Yeah, an incredible offensive force. Town showing that strength and touch off. This guy can do it all. He shot three of five from the line and Indiana making a change here. Toppins checked in at the line. [Music] [Applause] The free throw drops for Towns. You know, the size, talent, and fearlessness of Towns is a lethal concoction. A prime time player who poses many problems for the defense. Here’s Matan and he finishes nicely on the layup. Matan’s got five now. Important points there. Got him on a nice play getting the ball inside and right to the bucket. Anobi passes to Bridges. Bart kicks to [Applause] Anenobi. Shot clock at five. Here’s Brunson. Good D by Siako. The third quarter has not started well. Just one of four. Nemar blanketed by the D. Fights to the rim for the layup. Good decision by Seakkum. Giving up the rock sometimes is the right move for New York. They’ve gotten just one of their first four shots to fall since coming out of the locker at the break. Pass to [Music] Town over Siaka. Towns the pass to heart. Here’s Brunson. Brunson among the bigs. You always hear about the toughness of Brunson. Really comes true when he’s taking defenders on inside. Hallebertton is three on [Applause] Hart. Tap it against Hart. There’s the drive. Offensive rebound for three. Seakum. Topin finds [Applause] Matie. Here’s Memhard. Defended by Bridges. Goes up again. Memhard. Shot is good. He’s got six. That play never gets old. The pick and roll will still be an offensive staple 100red years from now. Trust me. Pass to Hart. Oh, Anobi in position. an emphatic LU champ. There’s that athleticism we talked about with Ananobi, which makes him a prime time LU candidate. And so it’s Rick Carw here calling timeout. He wants to make some adjustments to the game plan. Your [Music] next break. [Applause] [Applause] Pacers trail by four. Here’s Hallebertton. He’s got 12. There’s a screen by [Applause] Tophin. Mathan again. Tenobi. Five on the clock. Hallebertton inside the three-point line. And Muel Bridges pulls it down to the paint. Here’s Hart. A shot’s good on the assist by Brunson. Brunson’s got his fourth assist in this one for Indiana. They’ve gone three and seven on field attempts in the second half. Tin passes to Emma and the rebound goes to the Knicks. Brunson’s got his fourth rebound in this one. Hard finds Brunson. And here is Anobi. Here’s Towns. Seakum pulls it in. Seakum’s got six rebounds here [Applause] tonight. Pass to Hellbert. And there it is for him. 14 points for Tyrese Hallebert. The Knicks leading by four. deep Brunson drills it from outside. And you would think a coach might have talked to his defense about making the adjustment on him, but right now he’s just lighting him up. On the wing, Matan. Allebertton sets the pick from Matan. Pass to Seakum and they come right back with their own three-pointer. Seakum’s got 16. How about the confidence from Siakum coming back with a quick response. [Applause] Bridges deciding where to go with it. Here’s Brunson on the money from 12 ft away. Brunson’s got seven points for the quarter. That basket must be widening out right now. He’s taking almost every shot he’s putting up this quarter. Thiago on the high post second chance shot and a good offensive board and he gets the bucket. He’s got 18 and got to like what they’ve been doing down low in the post outside. Towns back to Brunson. Launches it. Seakum pulls it in. Seakum’s got eight rebounds in this game. Hallebertton on the wing outside [Applause] Matin. Seattle sends a screen for Merid. Shot clock at six. Indiana needs to get a shot. And it’s Hellbertton missing. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him find his touch and still be a factor. Don’t count them out yet. Anobi passes to Hart and the layup falls. Hart’s got his second bucket of the night. Can’t let someone like Hart get inside the D. Just asking to get burned. Pacers trail by six. Pass to Allebertton with it. There’s 117 left here in the third quarter. [Applause] nails it from the high post. Albert comfortable from there. Defense has to watch where he gets to on the court cuz right there he’s dangerous. And Tom Thibido decides to call timeout and coach has decided they need a moment to talk things over. So New York going with almost an entire new group. Robinson’s checked in for Towns. Achua comes in for Josh Hart. Miles McBride’s checked in for OG Anubie. And it’s Payne in for Jaylen Brunson. The Pacers also changing it up. Aaron Kneesmith has checked in for Benedict Matan. Shepard comes in for Andrew Nehof. And it’s TJ McConnell in for Hallebertton. Knocked away and stolen by McConnell. And he lobbs it up toward the rim and stolen by Aua. popped up there for Robinson. Takes the alley pass and dunks it down. A timing play, but it helps to have a leaper like Mitchell Robinson finish it off against baseline. Jbounded by New York. You’re not going to see that very often. Plenty of space, but he just basically whiffs on now. 8 seconds separating the two clocks. Robinson dishes to Bridges. They get it back. McConnell against Bridges. Shooting foul as the whistle blows. He’ll shoot two free throws. This is his first free throw of the game. [Music] Two shots. Take a break. Take a break. Two shots. And he knocks down the first one. [Applause] He hits both from the strike. So, it’s the Knicks now. Four-point game. Now, here’s Bridges. Lets it go from deep. And that would have counted, but his shot was off the mark this time. And that’s it for the third quarter. Both teams scoring well as we head to the fourth. Knicks lead by four. And right after this, we’ll bring you the start of the final quarter right here on 2K Sports. And let’s take this chance now to show you the State Farm assist of the game. Just true artistry right there. I mean, great decision on where to go with the ball. And how about the perfect delivery? Yeah, those are the kind of plays that you’ll want to put on a canvas. Just beautiful basketball. Welcome back to playoff basketball on 2K Sports. This is the Eastern Conference final on the court for Indiana. We’ve got Thomas Bryant is out there with Aaron Nesmith. It’s TJ McConnell and it’s Hallebertton in at the two guard spot. Kneesmith with the ball now guarded by Toms. Six on the shot clock. Hallebertton passes to Bryant. Second chance effort. The rebound by McRun. The Knicks leading by four. Here’s Hanobi. It falls for his fifth field goal of the night. Shooting five for eight. The chemistry has been terrific. really impressed with her offensive execution. Coffins has a screen for Hallebertton. A three-pointer is right on target. Hallebertton’s got 19 points. Their three-point percentage has taken a big lead here in this second half. And there’s the foul. It’ll go on TJ McConnell. That’s foul number two for him. [Applause] Towns looking around. [Applause] That’s a good read by Tophin. Just being in the right spot, playing solid deep. In the corner, it’s Bryant. Good. And McConnell gets the assist. And that makes it a tie ball game. Yeah, those are starting to add up, guys. Up their last five baskets. Three have been tripled. Anobi outside to [Applause] Robinson. Basers with the rebound. Bryant’s got his fourth rebound with that last one. Now here’s McC by N Smith. Two teammates connecting right there. Slick feed. Last quarter of play about two minutes in now. Hayne kicks to Robinson. Right side Towns. And you got to like Towns being assertive there. When he plays like this, it really makes the defenders uncomfortable. All right. Well, a look at how the points have been generated so far. The scoring breakdown for the Pacers. You love how they’ve lived in the paint, making the defense just consistently have to collapse and still finding ways to convert. One thing you can add on to this, and you don’t talk about it much as a point of emphasis, but getting to the free throw line and generating easy points that can really help you out. They got a lot of freebies. The first one falls. There might not be a guy with more heart than Carl Anthony Towns. From his words to his actions, this is a guy who cares about the game and his fellow players. Josh Hart, he’s checked in for Mitchell Robinson. Andrew Nehard’s checked in for Indiana. And Towns drops them both. And so it’s Indiana with it. Pass to Bryant now. Chompin. Banked in off the glass. Toppins got his first points of the game. Toppin not letting the defense hold him back. McBride with the ball up to Payne. Some nice passing by New York here. Towns sets the pick for Hart. And Towns the bucket on the assist by Hart. Towns has got it all tied up now for New York. Here’s [Applause] Hallebertton around 3 minutes gone here in the fourth quarter. And this is an advantage of having size in the back court. Howard using that length to cause [Applause] trouble. Take a break. Two shot. That’s good from Hellbert. So valuable to this team. Hellbert gives them whatever they need when they need it. This guy is both patient and prolific. Looking at who’s out there now for the Knicks. Robinson’s checked in for Towns. Bridges comes in for Miles McBride and it’s Jaylen Brunson in for Payne. He doesn’t get the second one. Disappointing not to convert all of them, but he did get the one to give them the lead. Bridges misses. I I still can’t believe that one didn’t [Applause] fall. Here’s Hallebertton. That one doesn’t go. Good D by Anobi. Pass to Robinson. And it’s sent back by Bryant. All the length of Thomas Bryant involved in that block. Stolen by Robinson. Here’s Hart. And no good. Had a chance to take the lead there. And so it’s Hallebertton who brings up the ball for the Indiana Pacers. So far in the fourth quarter, they’ve allowed just six points on the wing. He claims that one off the back iron and down it falls. Hallebertton’s got 11 points here in just the second half. Brunson against Hallebertton. and Obi outside back to Brunson. Down to five on the shot clock. Nice move. Had another field goal in his total. Make it seven for 14 shooting 50%. Great intensity here down the stretch. He’s not one to three in the moment. Take a look at it. Locked in right now in this moment. wants the ball in his hands and feels real comfortable with the shot he’s taking. Pass Deniseman Nemo with it. He’s guarded by Anobi and Alvin on the break. Brunson outside. Aninovi outside to Hart and foul on the shot. So he’ll get a chance at the line. Hopefully it’s going to be on Obie Topphen and Hart playing with his right now. Just going all out line. Two shots. and it’s tied up with that one. So crucial for Hart to get to the line, establish some confidence. He’s solid from there. I think it sometimes gets his perimeter game going. And New York making a change here. Towns is checked in. Indiana also making some changes. Turner’s checked in for Thomas Bryant. Pascal Seakum comes in for Topin. And it’s Benedict Matan in for Nith. And they now lead as the free throw drops for him. For Indiana. They’ve gone five of eight shootings. We’ve come down the home stretch in this final quarter. And so it’s Rick Carw here calling timeout. He knows every possession is critical now. All right, fans. Let’s check in with our reporter, David Aldridge. Well, during the break, I listened in on Rick Carile’s huddle. Now, he was quite encouraging in the huddle. He said, “Look, you’re fighting out there, fellas. I can see it. I need you to keep giving everything you have. Bring this one home. see if they can pull it off, guys. Thanks so much, David. [Applause] And here’s Hallebertton. Turner with the screen. Puts up a three. Hallelbertton. No good. He’s not the guy that you want to give a wideopen look from three-point range. They’re lucky that that one doesn’t cost him. Here’s Brunson. Excellent defense there from Hallebertton. Indiana’s gone two and three in the fourth quarter from long range. Good shooting so far. The Knicks with the lead. Hart with it. And outside. Here’s Brunson. New York. No good that time either. are shooting pretty good tonight at 48% inside. Towns with the steel and with it gets him up. The jump hook gets rebounded by Indiana. Seakum’s got nine rebounds in the game. Hallebertton gets the turn. That’s good. And it’s Hallebertton with the assist. Hallebertton’s got six assists here tonight. Easy to understand why they go to Turner here. They trust in his ability to come through. And oh boy, a lot of contact there, but he gets the call and will shoot two. It’s going to be on Miles Turn. And you know what? You allow a guy to get right to the rim like that. That’s your only option. [Applause] [Applause] He hits the first one and that ties the game up. Just really impressed with the player that Jaylen Brun Johnson has become in the NBA. He has mastered the fundamentals. [Applause] And so both free throws good that time and that puts him ahead. He’s got such a smooth stroke and it never changes even in this kind of a high pressure situation. Cast a three-pointer. No good. Shooting about 42% so far. Here’s Brunson. There’s 117 left to play here in the fourth. That one go’s got the mindset to deliver. Hallebertton for three. Trains the three-pointer. Hallebertton’s got the game tied up here for the Pacers. He’s a guy that lives for a big moment like that. Great focus and courage in the clutch. Brunson two-pointer. Good. The nerves on this guy not backing down from this moment here when the game is close. He kicks it up and out against a big once you get positioned inside it allows you to fight and come away with a lot of tough boards. There’s 38 seconds left here in the fourth quarter it from outside. A huge moment from JB Brunson knocking it down. 35 seconds left in the game. Britten with it now guarded by Towns. Here’s Nemo. Towns with the defensive effort. So they foul intentionally. 15 Josh at line two shots. [Applause] hits the first. That increases their lead to six. So he gets them both and it’s a seven-point game. Some padding here on the free throw line. Some good work. Timeout called the Pacers. They trail by seven. Guys, what do you think? Trying to keep Hope alive, but but I don’t see them making a comeback. Yeah, this is the classic. Too little, too late. The effort coming and not enough time for them to get back in it. Heat. Heat. Here’s Matarin to end the run. It’s rebounded by Anovi. And even though he didn’t get a piece of that shot, you love the pressure he puts on the shooter. Yeah, that’s the kind of energy that you want to see on every possession throughout the game.
