Indy doesn't have it tonight. They did look dead. They look like a team that was just trying to get back to Indy. Maybe they're trying to boost the ticket sales or something. But really, just low energy night. Tyrese Halliburton did not show up. Two for seven from the field. And look, we're going to talk about the Knicks defense in a second. But two for seven, that just...

You know, we went through this a little bit with Anthony Edwards, where it was like, hey, sometimes you've got to be the guy to take the shot. But it wasn't like the playmaking was really there either. You know, guys weren't it wasn't even it wasn't a great shooting night for them. But also, it wasn't like he was generating looks either.

Yeah, I did think that some of the stuff they did early on with Pascal Siakam, when he was getting touches, they were getting good offense. But overall, the Knicks really just stuffed them. I mean, at every single turn, nothing worked. Even the OB top in minutes, which have provided a lot of juice for the Pacers, the Knicks handled it. And I think part of this, we got to chalk it up.

Yeah, the Pacers tried stuff.

Yeah. It is funny that we, you know, we, we were ready down three, one, you know, we're ready to write off tips and we're saying, Hey, it's the same old tips, same old problems. He gets to the bench too late. And then they buy themselves another chance here. I mean, again, they, Ten guys. I mean, they've got ten guys that can play in this series. You mentioned Landry Schammett, DeLon Wright.

Precious Achua gave them big minutes. Again, it's that change of pace, which the Pacers have had with Obi Toppin, but the Knicks didn't have a guy like that. I just think having a faster big out there like Precious helped counteract that at times.

And then Josh Hart came off the bench and, you know, we've kind of hit on the fact that he's had a rough series, had a great game off the bench, 12 points, 10 rebounds and made some plays for them too.

It's amazing. They did not. The Knicks did not look exhausted in the fourth quarter. Now, part of that was the Pacers, right? Like the Pacers played way slower than what we were used to seeing out of them. I mean, this was a different thing. Part of that is the Knicks were picking them up extremely high, which is something that the Knicks haven't done in the series.
