The Knicks lost 103-116 to the Pacers away and were forced into a tie-break with a 3-2 lead, which is exactly the same as the Nuggets vs Timberwolves series, both teams in the top half of the region were forced into a tie-break, and G6 was a one-sided defeat, and the semifinals were so child's play as if it was rare in NBA history, right?
步行者全队命中率高达53.8%,全队6人上双:西卡25+7+5,哈利伯顿15+9+6,特纳17+8+2帽、内姆布哈德15+6+6,托平11+4,麦克康纳尔15+4。 尼克斯这边布伦森31+5,麦克布莱德20+2出色一些。
The worst part of the game was Josh Hart's injury, his abdomen was hit multiple times, and his tie-break was already doubtful, and his abdomen was still covered with ice with muscle patches.
The Pacers have also won six in a row at home, with a 6-0 home record that is currently the only one in the league, with only Prints defending their home court, but the tie-break is on the road.
Pacers official tweet tie-break victory: The last game at Madison Square Garden was back in 1995, when we beat the Knicks 97-95 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
But ESPN doesn't think so, they think that the Knicks, who have a home-court advantage, have a 55% higher win rate, and it is not a hypothesis to make such a judgment, because Xiao Hua is a New Yorker, and every time the Knicks have a lot of home whistles, as long as they hit the critical moment, the referee can help the Knicks.
Of course, the last beneficiary must be Green Kai, because Hart has an abdominal injury, Anunoby's left hamstring strain, Miro's stress fracture, Randle's shoulder surgery, and Bojan's hand surgery, the Knicks may have 5 cores that can't play in the Eastern Finals, even if the Knicks enter the Eastern Finals, they will also send their heads to Green Kai, and the Pacers personnel at least have the strength to fight with Green Kai.
