The New York Knicks faced controversy during Game 6 against the Indiana Pacers, trailing 92-77 entering the fourth quarter. A pivotal moment occurred when point guard Miles McBride was called for stepping out of bounds while attempting a three-point shot, which many fans deemed a phantom call, leading to outrage on social media. Criticism also arose regarding Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau’s decision not to challenge the call as the team sought to mount a comeback in the final minutes of the game.
