Carlisle was called for two technical fouls and ejected late as his Pacers fell 130-121, putting them in a 2-0 hole in the“I’m always talking to our guys about not making it about the officials and, but, we deserve a fair shot,” Carlisle said.“In the playoffs, when you submit things, the other team can see what you submit.

He cited a play in the third quarter where he felt the Knicks' Josh Hart shoved All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton — who has been battling back spasms — in the back. “It’s all over Twitter right now because a few people have showed it to me and JB DeRosa is looking right at it,” Carlisle said. “You can see he has vision of the play and he shoves Tyrese into the corner and there is no whistle.

They can see them, too."“At the end of the day we got outplayed.

But Carlisle, who felt Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau's yelling at the officials got a late double dribble violation against center Isaiah Hartenstein changed to an inadvertent whistle that allowed New York to keep the ball, wants things to change when the series moves to Indiana for Game 3 on Friday.
