Christmas Day throwback special. 15 years ago on Christmas Day the Indiana Pacers beat the New York Knicks 101-90. Reggie Miller led the Pacers with 26 points and Latrell Sprewell led the Knicks with 23.

However, a game between the Knicks and the Pacers cannot finish without controversy. Jalen Rose and Kurt Thomas got into a scuffle and were immediately ejected.

Jalen Rose spoke to Rolling Stone about the game:

"Another time I was playing against the Knicks, got tangled up with Kurt Thomas. He elbowed me and pushed me and we both got ejected. I was upset about that because Christmas Day, it’s a horrible day to get ejected."

Rose and Grantland recently made a video about that game. Watch it below.
