Pacers at Knicks Game 1: The Movie

[Music] [Applause] Hallebertton will take it back pedal. A three for the win. [Applause] We just we try to play pacer basketball. We got really good guys. We play hard, unselfish, and you know, it’s day one of 13 days. Knicks have had an excellent game offensively. They’re shooting 53% from the floor. They lead by 15. There’s a three ball up top from Nesmith. [Applause] Another three by Smith. That’s the great equalizer in our game. Brunson steps back left wing. He’ll take a three-pointer and he knocks it down. Brunson extends the lead to 119. 105. 245 left. Tallebertton counters with a dead-on three at the other end. He’s got 27. And the New York lead shrinks to 11 again. Smith three. Good. Got to make a move. Fly inside and a big basket for Smith three. Good. Another one from outside. And now it is a six-point game again. Bridges times to the hole. Eastmith again. Three. Got it. He’s a flamethrower. Eastmith. It’s a three. It’s a two-point game. It’s a two-point game with 22 seconds to go. [Applause] Try to compose yourself and the patience of this game. All right. He made the second. It’s a two-point game. Bring it to length, fellas, and hit a three. Two-point game. 6 seconds to go. Hallebertton driving. He’s in the lane. He nearly lost it. He backs up and unloads a three. Oh, that did not happen. It hit the back of the rim. It popped high into the air and it dropped gently through the net. This place is absolutely stunned. Going to be going to overtime. We sure are. On the far side baseline. Onelegged step back. Rattles it in over Tunnel in a torture chamber right there. Brunson Towns hard underneath. Anobi got it to go. Four-point New York lead. Brunson in on the right side and the shot was blocked by the backtracking Turner. New York’s lead remains four near side corner. Nehart from Hallebertton with a clutch catch and shoot three. That is a big shot there. That’s Nehard pumps right there playing with five fouls. I thought he just has to get out the way. Flying himself to the hole. It’s Hallebertton. Hallebertton fakes. This is a three. Oh, and slammed in by Toppen. One-point Indiana lead. Makes a move. Makes a fake. Splits the D and cuts. It’s a goal. He is so good. And now the switch inside. That’s for two. And Indiana recaptures the lead. Put up and in that time by Nimhard. Here comes Tin. Got it. for the tie. Short caught by hope. Out to Towns to tie. No rebound fought for loose. Bridges has got it. Clock is ticking out of bounds. It’s Indiana’s ball with two to go. And Indiana has won. Coming back and captured game one of the Eastern Conference Finals on the road in the Garden winning by three in overtime. 138 to 135. Night night.
