In this kind of G5 competition, the process is not so important, the important thing is the result! Knicks and Pacers G5, Knicks win! The big score is 3:2 ahead, which is equivalent to the Knicks having one foot in the Eastern Conference finals.
After watching the 48 minutes of the game, there are 9 incredibles:
1. Brunson is really not tired, he scored 44 points. The Pacers also wanted to defend targeted, but they simply couldn't stop it.
2. The Knicks' main game is iron and blood, the style of play is simple and rough, grabbed 53 rebounds, and "injured" the Pacers, the Pacers 29, and the big loss can be explained.
3. Haliburton loves to laugh when he plays, and he looks a little "loose" in the playoffs, and he has to have the iron-blooded energy of the Knicks.
4. The Knicks' style of play represents the trend of the NBA's playoffs this season, and the 3 points are not much to shoot, and they have to rush to the basket! 35-of-66 2-pointers vs. 19-of-45.
5. The Pacers are still a little too "bookish" to play, and the number of fouls in the game is not as good as that of the Knicks, and the intensity of playing the playoffs is a bit insufficient.
6. Halltenstein grabbed 17 rebounds by himself, which is not only his good play, but also the good tactical arrangement of the Knicks! Sometimes basketball is really not that hard.
7. The Pacers still have to push faster basketball, and if the tempo slows down, the Knicks' physical advantage will play out. In the final analysis, it is the Pacers who lack hard power and can only win by playing their characteristics.
8. The Knicks' 7-man rotation style of play is really unexpected, and the current physical fitness is still enough for the Pacers in this round of the series!
9. Today's Pacers collapsed in the third quarter, and it was a performance of being pushed through by the Knicks. G6 is crucial!
