Rematch of last year's ECSF. Both teams are playing well but Pacers are better by a small margin. Strong teams especially with playoff EXP generally hit hard in the 1st half of Game 1's knowing that they need to be locked in to have a shot at stealing G1 and setting the tone in the series, especially when coming off extended rest/preparation (they have had 3 days more rest than the Knicks). Meanwhile, home teams have a tendency to under-perform due to comfort and less urgency. Knicks aren't a very strong team but they aren't that weak either; strong enough to come back in the second half but weak enough that it's likely the don't give a championship effort in the 1st half here, especially off a 35 point win. Close game most likely with either team winning but Pacers will be on form in the 1st half.

Pacers came out blazing as expected, but so did the Knicks. Towns and Payne were uncharacteristically hot and we just barely missed. Amazing game heading into OT wow
