The Indiana Pacers have submitted 78 plays that they felt went against them incorrectly during Games 1 and 2 against the New York Knicks, a source told ESPN.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle, speaking after Indiana fell behind 2-0 in the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 130-121 loss to New York on Wednesday, said the team had identified 29 questionable calls from Game 1. The source said the Pacers identified 49 such plays from Game 2 and submitted them overnight to the NBA office.

Carlisle said they had decided not to send the Game 1 calls to the league office for review but changed their mind after Game 2 had similar officiating issues from their perspective.
