In the fifth game of the Eastern Conference semifinals of the NBA playoffs in the 23-24 season, the Knicks hosted the Pacers, in this so-called battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Knicks played a more hot competitive state, Brunson returned to the home court was really like a fish in water, he scored 28 points at the end of the first half, and the Knicks led 69-54 at halftime.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Pacers' Turner made three three-pointers in a row, and the Knicks then responded with a terrifying 17-0 run, and the score was completely stretched, and finally the Knicks beat the Pacers 121-91 at home. The Knicks had the absolute initiative to advance.
Today, the Knicks' Brunson scored 44 points, the Knicks had the upper hand in the frontcourt rebounding competition, Hart got 7 points and 17 rebounds today, including 12 offensive rebounds, the Knicks also performed well on the bench today, Burks scored 18 points today, and the Knicks can be said to be playing with their lives today.
The Pacers' performance today is disappointing, Haliburton only scored a pitiful 13 points in the whole game, and the Pacers also have a lot of problems on the defensive end today, Myles Turner is completely unable to defend the restricted area, if the Pacers continue to defend like this, they are eliminated is a high probability event.
