Seven facts that have to be admitted
(1) G3 had a great opportunity, which was missed by the Knicks, and could be reversed
As long as you win away from home, you can lead 3-0, and promotion is a certainty, but now it is possible to draw 2-2 and return to New York to play Tianwang Mountain, life and death are unpredictable......
(2) The Knicks suffered the biggest crisis
Randle was reimbursed for shoulder surgery in the regular season, Bojan and Robinson were reimbursed for injuries in the playoffs, and now Anunoby, who was also laid down by the madman Thibodeau, who lacked a major general, lost to the Pacers 106-111 today, and the overall score was only 2-1 ahead!
(3) One of the cores of both sides is going downhill, and the other is recovering
Not only because of their own lack of manpower, but also because of the team's brain, Brunson, his state has also declined, only 10 of 26 today, 2 of 6 three-pointers, only 26 points and 6 assists, and 5 turnovers, while the Pacers' Haliburton is in good shape, 14 of 26, 6 of 16 three-pointers, 35 points and 7 assists!
(4) In the semifinal G3 that started at 7 o'clock today, Josh Hart did not play a full 48 minutes for the first time in this round of the series, resulting in the team's final loss to the Pacers 106:111, and the overall score was chased to 2:1.
(5) Anunoby, the team's main small forward, not only missed today's game, but is also expected to miss G4 and G5, and is in a weekly observation, and the situation is not optimistic.
(6) Affected by injuries, Brunson's state declined today, only 10 of 26 shots, and only scored 26 points, laying a hidden danger for the final trend of this round of the series.
(7) Although Randle was out of action for the season and couldn't play to help the team, he was very happy to watch the game off the court, and has been gradually involved in trade rumors recently.
