The Indiana Pacers are frustrated with the officiating in the first two games of their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the New York Knicks.

The Pacers have submitted 78 plays that they felt were incorrectly called to the NBA for review, according to <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40111250/pacers-file-complaint-78-calls-nba-source-says" target=_blank>ESPN</a>.

Coach Rick Carlisle had plenty to say after Indiana’s 130-121 loss Wednesday night. His team trails the Knicks 2-0 in the series, with Game 3 set for Friday night.

“There’s not a consistent balance and that’s disappointing,” he said. “Give New York credit for the physicality that they’re playing with. But their physicality is rewarded and ours is penalized, time after time.”

Carlisle said his team identified 29 questionable calls from Game 1. Another 49 were identified from Game 2, ESPN reported.

It’s not unusual for NBA teams to submit plays to the league for review, though the result won’t change the outcome of games. In such cases, the opposing team also receives clips of the calls in question.

Carlisle said the team did not submit clips after Game 1 because he hoped to “get a more balanced whistle” in Game 2, during which he felt similar issues reemerged. The 64-year-old coach was ejected in the final minute of Wednesday’s game after being given two technical fouls.

“I can promise you that we’re going to submit these tonight,” Carlisle said after the game. “New York can get ready. They’ll see 'em too. I’m always talking to our guys about not making it about the officials, but we deserve a fair shot.”

Carlisle  said “small-market teams deserve an equal shot. They deserve a fair shot no matter where they’re playing.”

Among the issues Carlisle cited after Game 2 were an uncalled shove by Knicks guard Josh Hart against Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton and a late double-dribble call against New York center Isaiah Hartenstein that was later reversed.

“It’s all over Twitter right now because a few people have showed it to me and [referee] JB DeRosa is looking right at it,” Carlisle said of the Haliburton play. “You can see he has vision of the play and he shoves Tyrese into the corner and there is no whistle. Right in the back. That was shocking and there were many others.”

Those disputes came on the heels of a Game 1 where officiating was also a point of discussion. Officials incorrectly called a kicked ball violation against the Pacers in that game, which cost Indiana a late possession in its 121-117 loss on Monday. Crew chief Zach Zarba acknowledged the mistake after the game.

Following Game 2, Haliburton said the team needs to shoulder the blame for its loss.

“Let’s not pretend like that’s the only reason we lost,” he said of the officiating. “We just didn’t play good enough. But at the end of the day it’s 2-0.”
