In the final moments of Game 3 between the Knicks and Pacers, Pascal Siakam of the Pacers was involved in a controversial play where he apparently held Isaiah Hartenstein, which went uncalled. This incident occurred with 1:57 left on the clock and led to Andrew Nembhard scoring the go-ahead layup. The NBA later acknowledged in its 2-minute report that an offensive foul should have been called on Siakam. This missed call was crucial as it not only resulted in the go-ahead basket but would have also fouled Siakam out of the game.

Anyway here is the one call they ruled incorrect - 1:57 remaining - Siakam grabs Hartenstein, preventing him from defending. No call. Leads to go-ahead basket and would have fouled Siakam out of the game. https://t.co/EumtdNZTpP
