Donte DiVincenzo scored 21 of his 25 points in the second half and Josh Hart added 24 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists for New York, which erased a nine-point, fourth-quarter deficit. Isaiah Hartenstein had 13 points and OG Anunoby added 13 points and 9 rebounds for the Knicks. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said of Brunson, “The thing I love about him is he’s all about the team. All he cares about is winning. And he cares about his teammates.
“This is from my experience in this league: I think it’s best when the players decide the outcome of the game,” Turner said. “I think it’s unfortunate that it happened and was called a moving screen. But it’s a playoff game. I feel DiVincenzo did a good job of selling it. For the most part, you can’t leave the game to be decided by the refs.”
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said, “There’s always a sharp focus on the last minute, but there were things that happened with five or six minutes left that really hurt us. … It’s not just the last minute or two. It’s the whole game. It’s the whole fourth quarter.
