Indiana Pacers troll New York Knicks after Game 7 win - ESPN
The Indiana Pacers left little room for doubt in their 130-109 Game 7 rout of the
New York Knicks.
Their 21-point win at Madison Square Garden is the fourth-largest road win in Game 7 history.
Led by Tyrese Haliburton's 26 points, the Pacers shot 67.1%, the highest field goal percentage in any playoff game in NBA history. With six players reaching double digits in scoring, Indiana became the first team to have five players with more than 15 points in a Game 7 since 1987.
The Pacers now lead the all-time playoff series against the Knicks 5-3.
The storied playoff history between these two teams combined with the Game 7 atmosphere in New York raised the stakes — and the postgame trolling on social media upheld that standard.
With references to Spike Lee, Reggie Miller and more, Indiana's celebratory posts match the team's dominance on the hardwood.
Indiana jumped out to a 70-55 lead at halftime and never looked back. The Pacers finished 19-25 (7-11 3-pointers) off passes in the first half. They are the first team to shoot at least 75% in each of the first 2 quarters of a game, regular season or playoffs, since the San Antonio Spurs in 2014.
21-0. https://t.co/Lr1YJufnkk
The Academy Award-winning director is a longtime Knicks fan and even reunited with Pacers legend Reggie Miller ahead of Game 2.
If his dejected demeanor is any indication, he would've written a different ending for this series.
