Game 1 of Knicks-Pacers ended in controversy with a questionable Myles Turner offensive foul

Was this a foul on Myles Turner?

The New York Knicks earned a 121-117 home playoff victory over the Indiana Pacers on Monday night, but not without some controversy.

Part of New York’s path to the win came with an offensive foul on Pacers star Myles Turner, who made a play on Donte DiVincenzo while trying to block him out and halted the Pacers momentum in an instant.

The call, of course, is controversial depending on how you see it, whether you think Turner made a clean basketball play to help his team or whether you think he made an illegal move on DiVincenzo that justified the foul.

Either way, this year’s Eastern Conference second round already has a big story in this foul, one that helped the Knicks get the 1-0 series advantage.
