You never want to create doubt if you're an NBA team.
00:04
Like, you want to go up 3-0, Gilbert, if you're Indiana.
00:08
And then if you drop game four and even game five, you win game six, it's fine.
00:11
But this is not – I don't think this is a good thing for the Pacers here.
00:15
I'm a little concerned here because last night – or, excuse me, on Sunday night,
00:19
they, I think, had an opportunity to put this thing away.
00:23
We've seen teams go up 3-0.
00:24
Most sweep, eventually they win.
00:26
Now, all of a sudden, the Pacers have to be thinking, wait a second here.
00:30
Like, is it possible that we could actually lose both home games
00:33
when I think that we thought that wouldn't be the case?
00:36
So I suppose I would ask you, with Carl Anthony Towns playing the way that he did
00:39
in that fourth quarter, which seemed to be the difference in the game,
00:42
which was missing from the games in New York, is that the difference?
00:47
Why the Knicks won this game, and can it be the difference tonight?
00:50
Definitely the difference.
00:51
You know, I think back to that moment where Indiana went up 20 points,
00:54
and it really did feel like, oh, man, this might be a sweep.
00:56
And I remember asking who I was watching the game with,
00:58
do we need to bring the brooms out?
01:00
But the Knicks figured something out.
01:02
And I think not just the fact that they were able to win that game on the road,
01:05
but the way they won that game.
01:06
The 20-point comeback, which has kind of become their patented staple this year,
01:10
the third time they've done it in the last two rounds,
01:13
they can feel some confidence and say, okay, we can hang around.
01:16
And this is a team that we had a big lead on earlier in the series as well.
01:20
So a lot of these games could swing either way.
01:22
And we saw this in that Detroit series as well,
01:24
in the first round with the Knicks where they looked outmatched a little bit
01:27
but continued to find ways to win and then finding ways to win on the road.
01:30
Very good road team the Knicks have been during these playoffs.
01:33
So definitely don't count them out,
01:34
especially because the Pacers left the door open,
01:37
and they might regret the fact that they didn't take care of business
01:40
or get the job done, finish the job off in Game 3.
