00:00 the game.
00:01 [MUSIC]
00:02 >> Nick's a 4.5 point favorite against the Indiana Pacers.
00:07 The over-under is 220.
00:09 Of course, J.Y., a controversial final minute of game number one, but the end result, the
00:14 New York Knicks take a 1-0 series lead with a 121-117 victory.
00:20 The Knickerbockers in that opening game, a 5.5 point favorite, now just laying 4.5 at
00:26 home.
00:27 New York Knicks are playing in a playoff game, it is going to be close and probably decided
00:32 in the final few minutes of the fourth quarter.
00:35 Will we see the same tonight inside MSG?
00:39 >> That's Nick's recipe.
00:40 Nick's recipe is make this a 48-minute street fight and hope that our guys are tougher than
00:45 yours and I think that's the key.
00:48 I think that's the interesting thing because I know that last two-minute report came in.
00:51 I'm going to just say this really quick.
00:53 The NCAA, the Knicks are involved in either giving me a full 48-minute report or no report
00:58 at all because I want people to understand that over the course of the game, referees
01:01 miss so many calls that you think it's in a few minutes?
01:05 No, no, no.
01:06 It's the 46 before that too.
01:07 So that's my little plug for the two-minute report.
01:10 Now onto the game.
01:11 Yes, this is going to be tight then because that's the way the Knicks play because they
01:15 don't have, let's be honest, the offensive firepower to just blow teams out.
01:20 They have to play games close to the bat, they have to play games close and hope that
01:23 their experience and their toughness wins out.
01:27 Indiana, I don't think they changed their recipe, Ben.
01:30 I think they make this attract me.
01:31 I think they want to get this up and down.
01:33 Now that Mitchell Robinson is now out with an ankle injury for four to six weeks, now
01:37 Presser Tachua comes in, now they're definitely really not going more than seven.
01:41 If it's eight, it's Alex Burks.
01:43 If it's nine, it's Jericho Sims.
01:44 Oh Lord have mercy, Knicks fans, we may not want to go there.
01:48 So for that being said, if I'm Rick Carle, I'm pushing the pace over 220.
01:53 It was like two, I forget the number, I think 217 and a half or something like that was
01:57 game number one.
01:58 220?
01:59 Yeah.
02:00 Right?
02:01 Six of the last seven games, Ben, have gone 230 plus.
02:02 Rick Carle is not going to change what he does.
02:05 Take over 220 in the game tonight.
02:06 Yeah.
02:07 Thank you.
02:07 (upbeat music)
