In the second game of the Knicks' home game against the Pacers on May 9, the Iron Man Hart relied on steely perseverance to play the whole game, and the Knicks Brunson and Anunoby were injured, and finally reversed the Pacers 130-121 and won a key victory, and the whole team relied on willpower to defeat the flesh.
Iron Man Hart
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides went back and forth, and the game was difficult to solve. The Pacers, led by Haliburton, took the lead at one point. However, the Knicks relied on the tenacious struggle of Hart and other players to tie the first quarter at 36.
Entering the second quarter, the Pacers began to exert strength, and because Brunson was injured and did not play, the Pacers played 37-27 and led by 10 points into the second half;
After the start of the third quarter, the Knicks' Brunson returned and began to launch a fierce counterattack, Brunson and DiVincenzo broke out in turn, Brunson scored 10 points, DiVincenzo scored 12 points, 36-18 in a single quarter, leading by 18 points in a single quarter, and the Knicks led by 8 points at the end of the third quarter;
In the final quarter, the Pacers were not to be outdone, and the bench players once chased the score to 2 points, and finally Brunson closed the game, scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter, and finally the Knicks defeated the Pacers 130-121, and the score came to 2-0.
Brunson was too hard
Let's take a look at the key players of both teams:
On the Knicks' side, all 5 starters scored double-doubles, and 3 scored 20+;
Brunson scored 29 points, Anunoby/DiVincenzo each scored 28 points, and Hartenstein had 14 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists;
Hart once again showed his iron man, playing the full 48 minutes and contributing 24 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists to the team.
Sincerity
On the other hand, the Pacers only had 3 starters score double-doubles, and the whole team had 6 players score double-doubles, and the main team could not compete with the Knicks, the specific data are as follows:
Haliburton scored 34 points, Toppin 20, Nembhard 15, Siakam 14, Shepard 11 and McConaughey 10;
Turner scored just six points on 3-of-11 shooting.
Haliburton is the Savior
In addition, the Knicks' Anunoby retired injured in the third quarter, which undoubtedly brought a lot of blow to the Knicks, and the current news is that his left leg is sore, I hope there is no big impact, otherwise the Knicks will really have no one.
Anunoby
Seeing the end, I really didn't expect the Knicks' starting tenacity to be so strong, that is, 5 people beat the 76ers and Pacers all over the ground, and I hope that their willpower can go to the end.
