Knicks Steal Game 1 in Controversial Fashion
Knicks Vs Pacers'The Curse of the Garden: How the Pacers Were Robbed in Broad Daylight'
*New York, May 2024 – The Indiana Pacers had the game in their hands. Up by five with under two minutes to play in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, they were poised to steal home-court advantage from the mighty Knicks. But then… the unthinkable happened. A series of questionable calls, missed violations, and a controversial no-call on a clear kicked ball in the final seconds handed New York an improbable 121-117 victory. Was it incompetence? Or something more sinister?*
The Phantom Foul That Changed Everything
With 1:33 left, Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton was called for a touch foul on Jalen Brunson—a whistle so soft even the MSG crowd seemed surprised. Replays showed minimal contact, but the Knicks’ star sank both free throws, cutting the lead to three.
Then, just seconds later, Myles Turner was whistled for an illegal screen—a call so rare in playoff basketball that even the broadcast crew was baffled. 'That’s a play that happens 20 times a game,' analyst Reggie Miller, a Pacers legend, muttered in disbelief. The Knicks capitalized, tying the game.
The Kicked Ball That Wasn’t
The real smoking gun came with 13 seconds left. Down two, the Pacers forced Brunson into a desperate pass—only for Donte DiVincenzo to blatantly kick the ball away from Indiana’s Aaron Nesmith. The replay was undeniable: a textbook kicked ball violation. But the officials swallowed their whistles.
DiVincenzo scooped up the loose ball and drained a three. The Knicks took the lead. The Pacers’ protests fell on deaf ears.
Aftermath: A League in Denial
The NBA’s Last Two Minute Report later admitted the refs missed the kicked ball. But by then, it was too late. The Knicks stole Game 1, setting the tone for a series that would go the distance—but always with whispers of officiating bias.
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle, normally measured, couldn’t hide his frustration: 'We deserved that game. The calls down the stretch… I’ve been in this league a long time. That was unacceptable.'
Conspiracy or Incompetence?
Was this just another case of playoff refereeing errors? Or was there something darker at play—a subconscious favoritism toward the Knicks, the league’s crown jewel franchise, in the heart of Madison Square Garden?
The Pacers would fight hard, pushing the series to seven games. But Game 1’s ghosts lingered. A stolen win. A rigged system? Or just bad luck?
The truth may never be known. But in Indianapolis, they’ll always believe: They were robbed.
