After the Game 1 defeat, Turner said,"In my experience in this league, I think it's best when the players decide the outcome of the game," while adding that he looked forward to the release of the Last Two Minute Report. Following the call on Turner, the Knicks sank three free throws to put the game away. Moments before the call, DiVincenzo put the Knicks up 118-115 with a 28-foot 3-pointer that came on the heels of the critical kicked ball violation whistled against Nesmith -- one that likely would have resulted in an Indiana fast break if not for the errant call.
Crew chief Zach Zarba acknowledged after the game that the kicked ball shouldn't have been called."Postgame review did show that it hit the defender's hand, which would be legal," he told pool reporter Fred Katz of The Athletic. The Knicks and the Pacers are set to square off for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.
