The New York Knicks saw a motivated Indiana Pacers crew at MSG tonight. Led by Tyrese Haliburton, the Pacers planned to climb back from their Game 1 loss. Luckily, their path eased up as Jalen Brunson mysteriously exited the court during the initial stretch. As Brunson returned, OG Anunoby saw a hamstring injury, possibly denting the Knicks’ roster for near-future. Nevertheless, the Knicks came through from a 63-73 deficit at halftime to a 9-point margin, favoring them at the final buzzer.
“Whoever wins this series is gonna get stumped by the Celtics,” Charles Barkley said in the post-game TNT telecast. The 11-time all-star had a tough time spewing his reservations regarding the MSG team and said, “Y’all think y’all the greatest thing since sliced bread,” as Shaquille O’Neal hyped him up. “C’mon, y’all ain’t that good in New York, y’all overrated,” he added as Shaq hilariously provoked his on-set partner for more.
Barkley then found solace in NY’s pizza and bagels. “Just because y’all make good pizza and good bagels,” Barkley said as he seemed out of commentary. However, Shaq came in for the assist, citing, “Now hold on Chuck, don’t forget about the.” Immediately getting the reference, “I ain’t gon say anything bad about the street meat,” Barkley said to ignite laughter amongst the entire panel.
