On Wednesday, the New York Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers, 130 to 121, in Game Two of the 2024 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals. The hard-fought victory gave our heroes a 2-0 advantage and now the series advances to Indianapolis.
The Pacers’ coach Rick “Tattletale” Carlisle has been re-watching games to flag bad calls. While reviewing the footage, between crying jags, Carlisle must surely have identified what was the worst call of Game Two: his benching of TJ McConnell down the stretch.
Reserve man McConnell, a quintessential Hoosier, plays better defense than the starting guard, Andrew Nembhard.
