Inside the Shocking Moment the Indiana Pacers Hijacked Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals from the New York Knicks
The game started exactly how Brunson could’ve hoped offensively. The Pacers weren’t committing any help on Brunson’s drives or isolations. They were digging and throwing some hands at him, but were content to let him play one-on-one.
Nembhard guarded Brunson for a good chunk of the game, and he’s an above-average defender. He’s not good enough to routinely stop Brunson in isolation, though, and the Knicks’ leading scorer got to his spots at will. He missed all three of his 3-pointers in the first half but shot 6 of 8 on 2-pointers. He also had three assists and just one turnover.
