The Pacers tried to not make officiating in the playoff series against the Knicks an issue, but coach Rick Carlisle went off script when he unleashed on the referees in Game 2.
New York Knicks fans are hoping the franchise's 50-year NBA championship drought will finally come to an end this season. The team took another step in the right direction on Wednesday night by defeating the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinals. New York's playoff run has not been without controversy. In the Knicks' earlier playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers, a non-foul call sparked backlash and resulted in a pivotal game-saving possession.
But coach Rick Carlisle argued that the Pacers have gotten a fair shake in the ongoing semifinals series against the Knicks.

New York benefitted from a kicked ball violation, which is not a reviewable play. Later in the final seconds of the game, Indiana trailed by one, but referees blew the whistle on Pacers big Myles Turner for an illegal screen.
