Many fans commented on the news.

@SomeGuy3283: "1) only last 2 minutes of OT - not all 5 min
2) how can they say Haliburton didn't double dribble?"

@dkeen24: "And the goaltend to go up 6 with more than 2 mins to go goes unaddressed despite the fact it was the most crucial and blatant miss"

@wolfman5469: "What BS. What about the goal tending call they missed that would have given the Knicks a six point lead in OT?"

@NYPatsGuy: "What about the missed double dribble by Haliburton at the end of regulation? Oh right, since it went to OT they can conveniently ignore that."

The Pacers and Knicks will play Game 2 of the series on Friday night at Madison Square Garden.

They will then head to Indiana for Games 3 and 4.
