8:20am, 23 May 2025Basketball

On May 23, the NBA officially announced the G1 referee report of the Eastern Conference Finals. There were two missed judgments in the last quarter and the last two minutes of overtime. At the critical moment, Towns and Bridges missed the foul. The Pacers suffered two losses but still reversed and won.

The last two minutes of the last quarter were all correct, and there were two missed judgments in the last 2 minutes of overtime -

The Pacers led by 130-129 by 1 point, and Towns put his hand on Nesmith's shoulder. This illegal contact affected the latter's shooting. Towns should be called for a foul. Nesmith should get two free throws. This time, the Pacers suffered a loss.

The second missed judgment occurred when 15.6 seconds left in overtime. When Toppin tried to dunk, his arm pressed down and obviously touched the opponent's arm. This physical contact was beyond the reasonable range of confrontation. Bridges should be called for a defensive foul. Toppin should get a free throw opportunity. This time, the Pacers were at a disadvantage.

East Final G1, the Pacers counterattacked wildly while falling behind by 17 points in the last quarter at 6 minutes and 26 seconds. Nesmith hit 6 three-pointers in succession and played the Super Raiders. Halliburton delivered three-pointers at a critical moment and stepped on the three-point line to tie the buzzer. Nemhard and Toppin stood up in overtime, Brunson and Towns missed the tie three-pointer for a row. In the end, the Pacers narrowly defeated the Knicks in overtime 138-135, and led 1-0 in the total score of the series.

Pacers reversed 14 points in the last 2 minutes and 50 seconds and became the first team in the NBA to win in the past 27 years (1 win, 970 losses), and 9 points in the last minute also became the first team in the past 27 years (1 win, 1,414 losses).

In this game, Halliburton scored 31 points, 11 assists and 4 rebounds, Nesmith made 9 of 13, 8 of 9 three-pointers, and Siakam scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists; in contrast, Brunson scored 43 points and 5 assists, Towns scored 35 points and 13 rebounds, and both Bridges and Anunobi scored 16 points.

According to the schedule, the Pacers and Knicks Series G2 will start at 8 am tomorrow. Will Halliburton lead the team 2-0 or Brunson lead the team to equalize the overall score? Let's wait and see.
