The ‘inexcusable’ mistake Knicks made again and again in season-ending loss
NY Post
The Knicks turned it over, the Pacers ran.
The Knicks missed, the Pacers ran.
The Knicks scored … the Pacers still ran.
“Inexcusable,” TNT analyst and longtime NBA coach Stan Van Gundy said after the Knicks let Obi Toppin score on an unconstested layup in the fourth quarter following a made basket by New York.
It is clear Indiana coach Rick Carlisle got the message across that pushing the pace was important in Game 6.
The Pacers were flying up the court throughout Game 6 in a 125-108 victory that ended the Knicks season.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
