The difference between these rosters, epitomized: The Knicks, in a little bit of foul trouble, go to the barely-used Delon Wright and Landry Shamet. Meanwhile, the Pacers brought in four reserves before Bennedict Mathurin, who was the No. 6 overall pick in 2022.
There is just no comparison when considering roster depth. Sometimes that doesn’t matter in the playoffs, but it is shining through in this game, even as Wright and Shamet have made some plays.
