Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle was not pleased with the officiating during
his team's 130-121 loss to the New York Knicks in Game 2 of their second-round
playoff series on Wednesday.

"Small-market teams deserve an equal shot," he told reporters when discussing the
officiating. "We deserve a fair shot no matter where they're playing."

He also said the Pacers believed 29 plays were called incorrectly during their Game 1
loss on Monday but decided not to submit them to the NBA.

Those plans are changing for Game 2, especially after the head coach was ejected
near the end.

From what I am told, through the night the Pacers worked and early this
morning they submitted 49 calls that they feel they were wronged about in
Game 2. And while they were on the server, they slapped the other 29 calls
from Game 1 to submit what they feel is 78 missed calls that went against
them from Game 1 and Game 2. And by the way, the Knicks automatically get
copied on that so when the Knicks wake up, they're going to have 78 clips
should they want to review them. And so, what I think is going on here,
obviously they're trying to make a point but my view is that the Pacers looking
at how banged up the Knicks are, they think this series is absolutely still in
play and they want to make the officiating a factor to help them going into
Game 3 in Indiana.

The Knicks are a physical team, which Carlisle pointed out. He also said Indiana's
physicality is getting punished with whistles far more often than New York's in this
series.

Still, the Knicks' 22-17 free-throw advantage in Game 2 wasn't exactly a particularly
significant one. Plus, Indiana had a double-digit lead and failed to capitalize even
though the home team was without OG Anunoby for the fourth quarter after he was
ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Then there was Jalen Brunson, who spent much of the first half in the locker room
with a sore right foot. Even with those injuries, the Pacers lost by nine points with a
final deficit that suggests the outcome didn'tBycome down

Yet this may be lingering frustration from Game 1, which was determined in part by
poor officiating.

The NBA's last-two-minute report from that contest revealed the officials mistakenly
whistled Aaron Nesmith for a kicked ball violation in the final minute with the game
tied. Indiana appeared to have forced a turnover and potential opportunity to take the
NBAlead, but the Knicks got to keep possession.

Officiating was more of a storyline after Game 1 than Game 2, but Carlisle still wasn't
happy after the latest outcome.
