In this game, the Knicks played very well, the Knicks won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Knicks shot 47 of 101, 12 of 35 three-pointers, 15 of 19 free throws, and grabbed 53 rebounds and 26 assists.
Eight facts that have to be admitted.
1. Normally, the Pacers did not show enough hard work, especially the huge gap in rebounds, the Pacers had 29 rebounds, the Knicks had 50 rebounds, of which Harden alone grabbed 12 rebounds, more than the entire Pacers team, which gave the team a second chance to attack
Second, Haliburton, the brain of the team, has no desire to attack, he scored 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting, and handed out 5 assists at the same time, but it is obviously still not enough, he does not score high, and he does not connect the team together, he can't defend it, and the offense can't fight the Knicks.
Third, Brunson's point was completely blown up, although the Pacers tried their best to limit it again, but whether they used Nembhard or Nesmith to mark, the effect was not good, Brunson was still very strong, with 44 points and 7 assists.
Fourth, the veteran Burks was completely let go, and Berks became a Knicks bench wonder, shooting 6-of-11 and 5-of-8 from three-point range, scoring 18 points and 5 rebounds.
5. Unexpected: At the end of the half, the Pacers only had 2 timeouts left, and the Knicks had 4 timeouts.
6. Unexpected: In the third quarter, the Pacers scored 5 minutes without a sports game.
Seventh, the Pacers' three-point shooting rate of nearly 50% can't win the game.
8. Harden had 17 rebounds, including 12 in the frontcourt, more than the entire Pacers team.
Nine, center Turner, with a height of 211, a weight of 113 kilograms, can't grab rebounds, 5 in the whole game, and the interior defense is useless, it is better to send him to the Lakers with an annual salary of 20 million
10. Forward Toppin, although he has a strong fast-break dunk, but this kind of dunk, no defense, dare not shoot, when rotated, it hurts the team greatly, and the plus/minus value is -25 The lowest in the game, just don't need to renew the contract
