The Knicks defeated the Pacers 111-94 in the fifth game of the NBA playoffs, and the Knicks chased to 2-3. In this game, the Knicks played very lethal in the first three quarters, and they were able to maintain their advantage in the last quarter, and finally completed a big victory. After the game, they received four good news.

One is that they have a very big advantage in rebounding. Especially in the first three quarters, they can frequently grab rebounds to help the team maintain their advantage. Because the Pacers are teams that focus on fast breaks. As long as they have the advantage of rebounding, the Pacers cannot play the rhythm. On the other hand, the Knicks can play an advantage with their outstanding confrontation, so the rhythm of the entire game is with them, which is what the Knicks need to maintain in the next game.

They also have very good restrictions on Halliburton. Every player is given a confrontation, and it is very difficult to make every ball play. Don't forget, Halliburton is very afraid of confrontation, and his singles ability is not very good. Moreover, the Pacers are unable to play fast pace. Under this suppression, Halliburton took 7 shots. This is one of the reasons why the Knicks suppressed the Pacers on the defensive end. Halliburton is the lifeblood of the team.

plus their impact on the inside is very clear. The representative figure here must be Towns. He used the ball to cause damage and got a lot of free throws. The Knicks have the advantage in height. As long as the whole team continues to cause damage, they can take the initiative. Don’t forget that their three-point shooting percentage was not very good before. Such changes have a great impact on the situation, which can ensure the team’s efficiency.

Shamet also became a surprise player. Although he scored 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal in 14 minutes, and the data was indeed average, he suppressed the opponents on the defensive end with a single point, and his defensive intensity was very high, and he could withstand Siakam, which is admirable. In addition, you can also score goals on the offensive end, and the offense and defense are both good at driving force. I hope you can continue to reuse them in the future. These two games are positive contributions.
