Game 7 was the straw that broke the Knicks season’s back — as they not only lost their best player to a fractured hand, but also had their postseason run ended by a hot-shooting Indiana Pacers in a 130-109 loss in the Eastern Conference Semifinals at Madison Square Garden. and Bojan Bogdanović , the Knicks lost OG Anunoby to injury less than five minutes into the first quarter after he put up five points.
Tyrese Haliburton gave Knicks fans flashbacks to Reggie Miller in the 1990s. Haliburton led the Pacers in scoring with 26 points, including 16 in the first half alone. Like Miller, Haliburton was enjoying himself as a villain in New York, jawing with fans throughout the game. Six different Pacers; Haliburton, Pascal Siakam , Andrew Nembhard , Aaron Nesmith , Myles Turner and T.J. McConnell , all scored double-digit points.
Even after overcoming so many injuries that knocked out many key contributors to the team, Brunson said he still did not view the season as a success. The Knicks’ most notable pending unrestricted free agents are big man Isaiah Hartenstein and Alec Burks. Still, after finishing second in the Eastern Conference with a 50-32 record, there is something surrounding the Knicks that has been missing for a long time: hope. Time will tell how the team will look to improve on the court through trades and free agency.
