After Sunday’s Game 7, TNT analyst Reggie Miller posted on IG, as the Indiana Pacers beat the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Miller took to Instagram to throw one final dig referencing his moment with Knicks guard Josh Hart earlier in the series, and wrote,
“When the series changed!!. Jalen Brunson, you are a true BALLER, been the best player in these playoffs, but you and your boys can all heal up together on some beautiful beaches in Cancun, please enjoy!!”
Miller had spent his entire 18-year career with Indiana and led them to the 2000 NBA Finals (they lost to Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers).
During his time, the five-time NBA All-Star had career averages of 18.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 47.1% from the field and 39.5% from the three-point range in 1,389 regular season games.
The video that Miller had posted on IG featured an exchange with Hart during New York’s 130-121 win in Game 2. He wasn’t the only one trolling the Knicks on social media, former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce posted a video on social media of him stomping Brunson’s jersey.
In Game 7 of the second-round playoff series, for the Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton led the way with 26 points, four rebounds, and six assists.
In addition, he also made one steal and one block while shooting 10/17 from the field and 6/12 from the three-point range in 33 minutes of playing time.
