New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers Full 1st Qtr Highlights – May 27 – 2025 NBA Highlights

knee Smith an early touch. Turner inside held put it up and it fouls. Well, there was those switches again those mismatches and Turner made them pay in the first half of game three. Bridges, there’s just no way. He tried to wrap him up. Nice job there by Tout. He’s had great spurts, but they need him the entire night. Brunson game three, 23 points. Smith goes on him. Robinson a screen kicking it out. Bridges with a three. Dribble penetration by Brunson collapsing the defense. Bridges spotted up for that three. Well, N Smith, who’s a great defender, turned his head to look at the pick. When you do that, guys are going to be able to reject the screen and go the other way. You’ve got to stay focused on the ball handler’s gut. Towns get gives the seak a miss. The other way they go. Bridges trying to speed up that offense. It’s a rebound by Harlebert. Numbers the other way in the corner. Free use. How good has he been from those corner threes and again that’s pace and tempo. That’s how Indiana needs to play. [Applause] Brunson trying to part his way in on Nmith and does another two there for New York and the first two for Brunson. Seakum prickley the other way. Back and forth we go. Well, this is Indiana’s pace right now. New York playing well also early on offensively, but this is Indiana’s pace. New York likes this pace though. That was a made layup by Brunson. And they got a made layup at the other end. Brunson sheds the D, puts up a three. Alleton again is right there. Felt he didn’t do enough in game three. He’ll take it the other way for Indiana. Three by T. Rebound by Bridges. And Hallebertton can rebound the ball and just bust out. They don’t even have to outlet. They are very tough to stop in transition. You know, you’re looking for an escape, a step, one of the best coaches in this league for a long time. Well, there’s the answer. If that ankle was going to be any kind of issue for kneesmith, backto- back threes. So, you played on a sprain ankle. What are the difficulties shooting? The lift, which I guess would make sense. The lift and really the cal as well cuz it’s an extension of the ankle. Doubled inside, twisting out of it, getting it to go. Towns finds two. I like Towns inside there. Towns has an advantage somewhere on everybody. And on Seakum, it’s inside. And here we are. Two of two right there for Indiana at the line. Eight and a half in the first quarter. And Bridges will penetrate. Chipping his way in that beautiful fadeaway, but he’s short. And Harle Burton with the [Applause] rebound. Indiana 46 three. Harlebertton. Well, Hallebertton’s rebounded the ball three times and they’ve been able to push. Right now, Indiana’s on a 134 run early in the game. Brunson with it. Knee Smith will trail him and in to Robinson who makes his second consecutive start. Yeah, great lob there by Brunson. Excellent back screen by Carl Anthony Towns coming out of the timeout. Hallebertton has been big assisting and scoring early for Indiana. There’s four minutes gone of rebounding in Josh Hart. So Hart is in. Towns is out. Knee Smith is out. Shepard has come in for Indiana with a beautiful drive inside but Hart can’t finish. Knicks have numbers if they push and they’re at their best. What a feed by Hart and over with the cut. Hard drive by Nemar. Ball out the way. Turnover Indiana. Knicks the other way. Knicks are behind in the turnover battle in this series so far as Hallebertton defends 134 Indiana run countered by a 92 New York Nick run. Now this series is gone. Hallebertton long three. Now Hallebertton has shot eight for 41 from three throughout these playoffs in this building tonight. Nice start. two of two. Can he continue to shoot well? And how do you explain that the road team has played better in each of these games? You know, it was interesting listening to OG. You know, he talked about them just being a little bit more locked in on the road. And you can make a case for both of these teams. Wow. And Brunson shows it again right there. I mean, for the Knicks though, what it’s been is their defense has been better on the road. For Indiana, it’s been their offense that has been better on the road. But right now, this looks like Indiana’s road offense right here in game. Robinson watching Hallebertton puts on the brakes, finds a gap to hit that hard out. Knee Smith and defending the twirling Brunson a series of moves to get the shot away, but he couldn’t finish. Welcome Bernie has the last seven points for Indie and away. What a great round game here. It’s Bridges the rebound. Back Syakam to go along with Toppin. Two small teams on the floor here. TJ McConnell has also jumped in for Indiana Hart will te up a three. Well, Josh Hart has shot the three very well in these playoffs, right around 40%. And that’s key because everybody gives him shots. Seakum across the lane. Hart with the rebound. Played the entire fourth quarter the other night. Knocked away by Seakum on the deflection. Got number three on Hallebertton the tackle. Fifth assist already for Hallebertton. And that’s already seven fast break points. So what did it come from? Defense. A Nick’s turnover. Brunson with 10. Precious. McBride is coming for the first time. Brunson will fire on the floor. Bound in the corner. Saka. That’s a three. They are wearing New York out in transition. and Hallebertton 15 points and six assists in less than two minutes out. Anobi back in Towns on the bench. He had that 20point fourth quarter saving New York. Here’s a threemith. It is a rebound by McBry. Gives him another gear. Anobi three straight 16-point games in this series. Robinson Hart Hallebert in the defense. Shot clock at five. Anobi makes the fake put up a three. Smith will grab the ball and here comes Indiana. Oh, picked up by Brunson. He’ll have the steal. He’ll feed to Anonovia tease up a triple. Rebound inside is grabbed again by Hart. Carter Brunson three. No rebound. Chopped by Hallebertton McConnell. Seiaka and an Obi on the way. The former teammates going at it. Seaka with two more and give him 11. Yeah, but the Pacers lucky on the offensive glass. New York starting to kind of impose their will. They just didn’t Oh, that could be a turnover. Over and back. Over and back. Hallebertton is out. The guy with the ball. Benedict Matlin will take a two off. That is a 102 Indiana pacer run. Well, it’s been about closing quarters in this series. Right now in this first quarter, the Pacers closing this quarter very well. Brunson crowded, shoved, fouled. Three here over. Beautiful shot by McBride. Well, they played their best basketball in this series with McBride on the floor. A plus 25 in his minutes coming into tonight. McConnell hits the cutting Matthew who’s come off the bench with two in a row. Great energy and great minutes. Matan has been a no-show in these conference finals and he just needs to slow down. I think he’s taking the best possible shot. Good start for Matan here. Knicks are 13 of 23. Indie 15 of 21. Shooting has been lights out with a pass to Hart inside Robinson. Knocked away Seakum. Final 7 seconds of the first quarter. It’s McConnell. He’ll probe and steer and feed and seek him. And the quarters come to a
