After the uncalled offensive foul, Paul George hit the go-ahead jumper. The Knicks missed on the other end, and they had to begin intentionally fouling. The Pacers added a few free throws in their 92-87 win.
A correct call would’ve turned the ball over, giving New York a chance to go ahead. If the Knicks ran the clock down before shooting, as they should’ve, even a miss would’ve allowed only a rushed Indiana possession.
The loss means little to the Knicks, who are out of the playoff race and already traded their first-round pick.
But, for the Pacers, every win – and every call – helps.

That was one of those games it really seemed like the NBA wanted to give to the Pacers for the playoffs. Oh well.

I emailed them about the Afflalo call because I didn't understand what they meant in the ref report. I will post their response if I get one.

I would be shocked if they respond, but good on you for asking.
I didn't think they could review the out of bounds issue - especially since it said they were reviewing if it was a three or not. Which was BS, because he was well behind the line.
If that call cost us the playoffs, I'd be furious. As it stands, I guess it is pretty meaningless.
^^^^No response from the nba.

You know what... I wrote the NBA a question about their website in regards to the DLeague and some outdated stats, they said they were no longer updating but it was nice to see a response. Did take them about a month.
