Josh Hart got away with push in back on Tyrese Haliburton

Josh Hart pushes Tyrese Haliburton

The Indiana Pacers did not make the officiating for Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series with the New York Knicks a big issue despite having numerous complaints. After they lost Game 2 though, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle let loose.

Carlisle vented about the officiating after his Pacers lost 130-121 to the Knicks. He complained about the calls and indicated he felt his team was a victim because they are not a large-market darling like the Knicks.

During his postgame comments, Carlisle specifically cited one play he couldn’t believe the Knicks got away with. In the third quarter of the game, Josh Hart pushed Tyrese Haliburton in the back and was not called for a foul.

Carlisle punctuated his point about the missed call by noting that Haliburton has been dealing with a back injury.

Carlisle may have thrown a little shade at the officials after Game 1. He went all-in on the refs after Game 2.
