This Haliburton will blowout Celtics at East Finals -Kendrick Perkins on Pacers crush Knicks 130-109

it’s the biggest I’ve ever seen perk smile truthfully Pacers visiting the Knicks game seven of the Eastern Conference semifinals home team 110 and 35 in game sevens excluding the bubble Josh Hart OG and anobi both available for New York of course down the turnaround jumper and then the too small gesture of course next Indiana possession same score watch halberton on the wing buries the triple halberton feeling it and he would not slow down here he is again next Indiana possession same score there he is relocates drains another three Pacers now lead by 12 one minute left in the first quarter Pacers Again by 12 halberton steps back you know it’s going in 25 ft doesn’t matter same spot same result Pacers LED 3927 after one you saw the first half of the century here’s why because the Pacers could not be stopped look at him down low under the rim is Isaiah Jackson for two Pacers lead by 22 and then again halberton kicks it to Turner misses cleans up his own Miss Pacers LED 755 at the break they shot over 76% in the first half early third quarter now Nicks Trail by 13 miles McBride hesitates get to the rim for two and now the Knicks only Trail by 11 one minute later Nicks still down 11 Jaylen Brunson steps back off the screen drains the triple they cut the lead to eight what here come the Knicks later in the quarter though Pacers by 10 halberton steals it from Brunson races down the court finishes but watch Brunson because he does swipe at the ball but makes contact with Halle Burton’s knee and tries to block it away holding his hand on the Ben more on that in a minute under five minutes left in the third quarter Pacers lead by 10 Aaron n Smith pump fakes drains the midrange jumper Pacers lead by 12 again ensuing Nick’s possession miscommunication on the inbound by New York McConnell steals it kicks it to n Smith finishes through contact gets the n one but during the free throw watch Brunson he’s going to leave head to the locker room would be diagnosed with a fractured left hand and not return he finished with 17 points there’s halberton again downhill relocates behind the ark for three Pacers lead 10184 through three fourth quarter SE yakum isolates drains the jumper he had 20 Pacers lead by 17 and now it feels a little Out Of Reach doesn’t it Halle Burton drives right finishes through contact gets the an1 a casual high five people are disappointed but not the Indiana Pacers I just told our team when you win a game seven in Madison Square Garden you’ve made history um it’s very very difficult to do this is this is the most rockus crowd uh in the NBA that I’ve seen and we’re going to Boston and you know Boston’s up there too but this group really when things get tough um got tough today they they just problem solved their way through it and really kept the energy from within so I’m really happy for them for me just aggression is not shots it’s just getting my two feet in the paint I know it’s like an old school way of thinking but um the more that I can get downhill it opens up everything for everybody else so I knew you know today’s game seven um unload the clip you know have no regrets cuz I would hate to you know be pissed all summer about not shooting the ball today so you know for me it was just about coming out playing the right way we expected to be here this ain’t a surprise for us you know it’s no fluke we we expect this from our group and then once we added P we knew that we could really take off so um it doesn’t really matter what anybody thinks except for the people in our travel party 70 80 people who come um because I don’t think anybody here picked the Pacers to win the series but it happened I have picture proof yeah the Pacers they silenced the MSG crowd moving on to the Eastern Conference Finals after shooting over 67% from the field that is the highest shooting percentage in a playoff game in NBA history they passed the 1990 Celtic who also did it against the Knicks speaking of the Knicks here’s Josh Hart after the game on his well his heart it’s tough worn’t in the cars for us but um you know like I said we didn’t we didn’t quit we didn’t we didn’t make like I said make excuses um we battled and and hopefully um New York can be can be proud of that um and be hopeful uh for us to come knowing that they gave best effort all year long you yeah I could live with the result you know like it’s disappointing in the end there’s going to only be one happy team you know everyone falls short 2019 teams will fall short this team fought like crazy I think in many ways they exceeded everyone’s expectations except probably our own we wanted to keep going you know so we always had to believe that we had enough I love the fact of how how we fought night in and night out and um uh I just I love this group of guys that we have and um definitely proud of what we were able to do this year and proud of how we fought night in night out and um obviously the outcome is not what we wanted but um the way we fought man it’s just it’s awesome so the Knicks failed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals yet again they haven’t made it there since 2000 which marks the third longest active drought in the NBA in the NBA behind only the Wizards and the Hornets Kendrick Perkin still here with us and perk the Indiana Pacers take down an injury late in Nicks team after the game tib said really they had nothing left to give and that was obvious but Indiana was also just lights out what did you take away from their dominating performance well to me it was just the Youth of this uh Pacer team responding to their head their head coach and Rick carile who called them out publicly throughout this series multiple times and when you see a team respond like that in great fashion especially from a physicality standpoint it was a beautiful thing to see I thought uh n Smith did an excellent job on Jaylen Bronson being physical picking them up full court TJ mcconell was spectacular this entire series and then you add a championship caliber play well a championship a champion and Pascal SE yakum to come in and set the tone and then Tyrese halberton and Miles Turner they just followed and everybody followed suit it was a beautiful thing to see with the Pacers I mean they answered the call to the head coach and they responded in great fashion well they’re going to need to bring that physicality because now they have a date with the Boston Celtics obviously a team that you’re very familiar with so as we turn the page now to the Eastern Conference Finals what do you see well I I damn sure don’t see the Celtics bringing any roses to this date whether this a dinner or whatever they’re not bringing any champagne and look the this is a different series we looking at we watched the Indiana Pacers where they were able to load up on Jaylen Bronson because he didn’t have another Allstar caliber player on the side of him but now we’re watching the Boston Celtics where they have multiple Allstar caliber players you have to defend all five uh uh positions when it comes down to the Celtics they like the space you and they love to operate so they’re going to be tested on both ends of the floor because we know that the Celtics they’re the best team in the Eastern Conference they’re one of the better teams defensively in the league and so now that the Pacers got to switch s gears they only have a day turnaround to get their mindset mindset right for the Boston Celtics is definitely going to be a challenge and they need to find a way to contain Tatum he’s averaged 310 in five in four games against the Pacers this season Kendrick Perkins thank you thank you on the way we’ll go inside both of those game sevens the numbers
