G3 referee report of the Eastern Conference Finals: Brunson misses his foul on the bridge, both teams make a profit, New York wins narrowly

11:30am, 27 May 2025【Basketball】

On May 27, the NBA officially announced the G3 referee report of the Eastern Conference Finals. There were two wrong judgments in the last 2 minutes. At the critical moment, one ball and one defensive foul was wrongly judged - Brunson missed the ball and out of bounds, and Bridges misjudged the defensive foul. Both sides made a profit, and the Knicks finally reversed and won.

The Knicks led by 100-98 by 2 points. Brunson broke through and made a layup. The referee awarded the ball to the Knicks. The referee's report shows that Brunson was the last player to touch the ball, and the ball should be awarded to the Pacers. This is a major wrong judgment. The Knicks made a profit and the Pacers suffered a loss.

The second misjudgment occurred when 9.7 seconds left in the game. The Knicks led by 4 points 102-98. Halliburton's breakthrough caused Bridges to foul, and Halliburton made both free throws; the referee's report shows that Bridges' contact when defending Halliburton's breakthrough was a slight contact and did not affect his offensive four elements (SQBR). This time, the Knicks suffered a loss and the Pacers made a profit.

Except for the above two wrong judgments, there is no problem with other penalty in the last 2 minutes of the Eastern Conference Final G3. In the G3 match of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks fell behind to 20 points at the last time, and then stubbornly narrowed the gap. Towns scored 20 points in 7 minutes in the last quarter and led the Knicks to turn the situation around. At the critical moment, Brunson stepped forward, Hart made all four free throws in the key rebounds and wins. In the end, the Knicks won G3 106-100 away, finally winning a game and rewrite the total score to 1-2.

In this game, Towns scored 24 points and 15 rebounds, Brunson made 6 of 18 shots and scored 23 points, Anunoby scored 16 points and Bridges scored 15 points; the Pacers, Halliburton scored 20 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals, Turner scored 19 points, and Siakam scored 17 points.

According to the schedule, the Knicks and Pacers Series G4 will start at 8 o'clock tomorrow. Will Brunson and Towns lead the team to equalize the total score or Halliburton lead the team to win the match point? Let's wait and see.
