Tough sleeping after that game. Woke up with two prevailing thoughts:
1. It’s taken two 30-foot shots to beat these #Knicks (6-3) in the playoffs.
2. Going 0/7 on layups in the 4Q (h/t @ESPNStatsInfo) is a sign of a tired team.

There aren’t many Knick fans here in Indiana tonight but you could hear a faint ‘Let’s go Knicks’ chant late in 3rd after Josh Hart converted a layup in transition. NYK leads IND, 90-85, heading into 4th. Donte Divincenzo has 32 points on 21 FGAs. He’s hit 6 of 8 3-point attempts – 8:59 PM

Another costly 3Q for the Pacers.

OG Anunoby (hamstring strain) traveled to Indy w/the Knicks. Part of the reason to have travel is because the team medical staff/training staff is here. Thibodeau said the Knicks are taking it day by day with Anunoby and the player will get treatment 3 times per day. – 5:52 PM

Jalen Brunson will warm up & “we’ll see” about his status for Game 3, Tom Thibodeau said. Brunson made it through shootaround this AM. He was walking without a limp here at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Based on that & what Thibodeau said, it’s clear Brunson is trending toward playing – 5:40 PM
