步行者今日坐镇主场迎战尼克斯，首节之争双方一路拉锯状态相当，尼克斯凭借麦克布莱德的连续三分短暂取得领先优势，步行者随后回敬9-5将劣势缩小至1分结束第一节。 次节尼克斯最后时刻自乱阵脚突然熄火，步行者抓住机会瞬间拉开比分。 下半场步行者越战越勇，尼克斯首发哈特腹部受伤无法坚持作战，布伦森手感复苏，连续拿分才缩小至13分进入第四节。 末节步行者上来就是一波凶猛攻势，分差也拉大至20分彻底杀死比赛。 In the end, the Pacers beat the Knicks 116-103 at home to drag the game into a tie-break. 下面分析本场的8个事实！
1. Brunson played 37 minutes, shooting 11-of-26, including 3-of-8 three-pointers and 6-of-9 free throws, scoring 31 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists. The plus-minus value on the field is -11, Brunson is in a bad state today, Brunson is 2 of 13 in the first half, and the data in the second half comes to 11 of 26, and there are 11 consecutive misses in the front, which leads to the score being pulled away instantly, although the state of the back comes, but it is too late...... Brunson's off-ball runs are still top-notch, but finishing needs to be improved.
2. Hart played 30 minutes, shooting 2-of-8 from the field and 1-of-4 from three-point range to finish with 5 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. 在场正负值-11，哈特今天受伤了，这也是很多人都能预料到的，在对战76人（g4g5），和步行者（g1g2g3）的5场比赛中哈特出场时间分别是：45.7分钟、53分钟、46.5分钟、48分钟、48分钟。 场均高达48.3分钟，季后赛场均出战时间高达43分钟…… Thibodeau's plantation style of play has injured all the players.
3. DiVincenzo played 40 minutes, shooting 6-of-14 from the field and 3-of-8 from three-point range to finish with 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. With a plus-minus of -17, DiVincenzo is still very consistent today, and every time the team is in trouble, he can renew the firepower for the team, and the only shortcoming today is that there are too few shots, or too little ball...... DiVincenzo is on a payroll of 1,200w this season, shooting 41% from the field and 40% from three-point range in the playoffs, averaging 16 points per game. The Knicks are really making money!
4. Thibodeau, this coach is terrifying! It's not for nothing that the players don't like coaching with him, it's really dead...... So far, the Knicks have had several injuries: Randle underwent surgery on his right shoulder at the end of January and will be out for the season. Bojan will undergo surgery for an ankle injury at the end of April and will be out for the season. Mitchell Robinson suffered a left ankle injury yesterday and is out for the season. Anunoby suffered an uncontested left leg strain today and his return date is undecided. 哈特今日赛中腹部受伤，抢七出战成疑。
5. Siakam played 30 minutes, shooting 11-of-21, including 0-of-2 three-pointers and 3-of-4 free throws, finishing with 25 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. Presence plus/minus +20, Sika dreams back 19 years! Today's life-and-death battle is also powerful, and the middle distance is used vividly. The Pacers' mid-season choice to strengthen Sika was the right choice
6. Haliburton finished with 15 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 blocks on 6-of-12 shooting and 3-of-8 three-pointers. With a plus/minus of +11 on the field, Haliburton did well today, and although the stats look very average, the stats of 9 assists and 1 turnover as a playmaking defender are perfect...... Haliburton's shortcomings now are also obvious, the offensive threat is small, the offensive means are too single, there is no killer weapon of his own, and he lacks the ability to solve hard.
Hart suffered abdominal injuries
7. NBA's No. 1 iron man Hart is also injured, which makes the Knicks' prospects for promotion not optimistic. The Pacers at home are really fierce enough, the whole team directly scored six double-doubles, Siakam ushered in an outbreak, punished the Knicks' defense again and again with an unsolvable mid-range, Turner and Haliburton also had a high shooting rate, and finally the Pacers defeated the Knicks at home and dragged the game into a tie-break, for the Knicks, losing the game is actually not unacceptable, the key is the iron man Hart's abdominal strain, which is even worse for the Knicks, who are already full of injuries!
8. It seems that the Green Army is likely to enter the finals! 尼克斯3-3步行者，步行者和尼克斯目前展现的竞技水平以及消耗程度、出现球员伤病，支撑不了太久…… 东决无论是尼克斯还是步行者，估计都不能给凯尔特人带来麻烦
If the Knicks really make it to the Eastern Conference finals, I'm really afraid that the Knicks won't be able to get together 5 people in the starting lineup, and Thibodeau and the assistant coach will have to warm up [awkward laughter]
