    You canā€™t call that illegal screen in that spot. A ticky tack foul canā€™t be called late, you never see it in football. Last drive the only time youā€™ll see a PI is if the defender tackles the receiver they let what could be called in the first quarter go at the end. Thatā€™s how it should be, thereā€™s so much money at stake in these games, from fans betting to players potential future earnings, to leagueā€™s revenue. I know the league wants NY Vs Boston next round but what about Haliburton, if he wins the finals his earning potential skyrockets, this play severely impacted the odds that Indy does win it all. Thereā€™s just so much at stake in these playoff games for any sport that you have to let minor things go. That doesnā€™t mean donā€™t call anything, but cmon with that, Indy might not have won tonight if nothings called but you canā€™t severely impact the outcome on something like that.

    Harsher penalizing for flops could probably cut out a lot of acting and the calls that are made only bc of acting

    I like the whole last 7 minutes of the game. Made up calls šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ ball kick? šŸ˜‚

    Sooo, the league really loves that the Knicks are in the playoffs. Last two calls were horrible and took the game away from the players. Divincenzo full acting job like Italian soccer player, and Brunson faking that Nembhardā€™s jersey tug yanked his neck backwards gets the free throws that end the game. Horrible end to a great game

    Knicks fansā€¦ donā€™t feel guilty over that ridiculous last foul call. Weā€™ve been battling bad officiating like most other teams all season

  28. @ancelkernan

    The NBA going need to get some AI official fr because these official that call this game look like it was them first time calling a NBA game

    ā€œWild ending?ā€

    It was set up to be a great ending, and then the refs just refused to let the game be played.

    Iā€™m sorry but this game was rigged down the stretch. It should have been an OT if they let these guys play like a grown man. Apparently, the refs gave this W for the knicks. Shame.
