20 points and 8 rebounds in the last quarter! Just today, an NBA record held by Dirk was reached by Towns

NBA playoffs continue, with the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers ushering in the third leg. The Knicks lost two consecutive home games and could not lose again. Thibodeau took the initiative to change the team, and Miro replaced Hart into the starting lineup. In the game, the two teams fell into a tug-of-war early, with alternate scores leading, and the Pacers gained a little upper hand. In the second quarter, the Pacers scored a 13-0 climax and established a huge lead of 20 points in one fell swoop. Afterwards, Anunobi and Bridges led the team to counterattack, the Knicks approached the score, and after Nesmith sprained his ankle and left the game, McBride scored 7 points in a row, and the Knicks chased the score difference to single digits in one fell swoop. In the last quarter, Towns scored 15 points in a row to help the Knicks overtake the score. Subsequently, the two teams fell into a tug-of-war, the Knicks took the initiative, Brunson scored a key goal in a row after making his debut in the last two minutes, and the Knicks finally narrowly defeated the Pacers 106-100.

Knicks played against the road and dug a 20-point pit early. Brunson was troubled by four fouls in the first half. The Pacers continued to maintain the aggressiveness of fast attack and defensive counterattack. After the game, the Pacers scored 22-8 in the turnover and scored 16-2 in the Knicks, which was the key to their first move. But the Knicks did not sit back and wait for death, but instead tried to kill themselves, destroying the Pacers with tougher inside attacks and more fierce outside fire! After the game, the Knicks scored 40-32 inside and suppressed the Pacers, and scored 14-10 on the second offense. The Knicks scored 11 three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 34.4%. In contrast, the Pacers made only 5 of 25 shots from outside the three-point line, with a shooting percentage of only 20%.

narrowly won from 20 points behind to 5 points, and the Knicks once again completed a shocking 20-point comeback, which is amazing! According to statistics, the Knicks' history playoff record with 20 points (the previous two 20-point reversals) made the Knicks become the first team in NBA history to complete 20+ major reversals in three single playoffs! The Knicks refused to 0-3 and rewritten the series score to 1-2. Towns is the number one hero! Towns was DNP in the last quarter of the last game, and only scored 4 points in the first three quarters of the game. However, due to the foul, Towns seized the opportunity to score 20 points + 8 rebounds in the last quarter, completing self-salvation and saving the team! Meanwhile, Towns set several god-level records, including an NBA record held by Dirk.

According to NBA official statistics, Towns is the second player in the Knicks history to score 20+ in the end of the playoffs, and Brunson is the first. At the same time, Towns is the second player in NBA playoff history to score at least 20 points + 8 rebounds in the final quarter of the playoffs, and the first one is former Mavericks star Dirk! I have to say that this night was hard and fragrant. He turned the tide in desperate situation and realized his talent for the No. 1 pick. He is worthy of being the big man with the richest offensive skills in NBA history! After the game, Thibodeau pointed out incisively: Towns is a very talented scorer, and when he remains aggressive, we have a huge advantage. The NBA famous Mouth Whale teacher also pointed out: Thibodeau insists on Towns leading the team and finally becomes tough, and he is more worthy of being the first core of the team.

Knicks used a 20-point reversal to rewrite the series score to 1-2, which is gratifying and regained morale and confidence. However, bad news came from the Knicks! NBA sports medicine expert Dr. Evan Jeffries pointed out that Towns limped at the last minute of the game and may have suffered an injury to his left knee, which is the knee that he had meniscus surgery in 2024! Towns is the Knicks' offensive weapon, and they have a positional advantage against Sika and Turner. This is also a trump card for the Knicks to change their fate against the will of the Knicks. Looking forward to Towns' injury is OK! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
