G1 referee report of the Eastern Conference Finals: Both key missed decisions were the Pacers suffered losses and still narrowly defeated the Knicks in overtime

On May 23, the NBA officially released the referee report for G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The report showed that there were no mistakes and missed judgments in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, but there were two missed judgments in the last two minutes of overtime. The Pacers were the Pacers. Even so, the Pacers finally narrowly defeated the Knicks in overtime 138-135.

The first missed judgment appeared when 1 minute and 57 seconds left before the end of overtime, Nesmith made a breakthrough and made a layup. Towns placed his hand on Nesmith's shoulder when defending. This action affected his move. This was a missed defensive foul. Nesmith should have had two free throws. This time the Pacers were missed and the Knicks made a profit.

The second missed judgment occurred 15.6 seconds before the end of the game. When Topin tried to dunk, Bridges pressed his arm horizontally on the opponent's arm, and the degree of physical contact this time was far beyond the slightest. This was also a defensive foul that was missed, and Toppin should have received an additional free throw opportunity. This time the Pacers were also at a loss and the Knicks made a profit.

Although the Pacers suffered two losses in overtime, in this game, the Pacers still defeated the Knicks 138-135 away, completing a 17-point reversal, leading 1-0 in the total score.

Brunson scored 43 points and 5 assists, and Towns scored 35 points and 12 rebounds. The Knicks led the Pacers by 17 points at most. Pacers' surprises Nesmith made 8 of 9 three-pointers in this game, scored 6 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and Halliburton drew in overtime. In overtime, the Pacers were even better and won the Knicks. Nasmith of the Pacers scored 30 points and 8 three-pointers, and Halliburton scored 31 points and 11 assists.
