On June 1, in the G6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks lost to the Pacers and were eliminated 2-4 in a big score. The problem with the Knicks in this game was still defense. It was not just about preventing three-pointers from defending the outside, but also preventing the Pacers from counterattacking. I feel that there are huge problems with the Knicks' physical fitness, especially in the fourth quarter, where the Pacers' offense is to ask for it. The Knicks missed the return to the finals.

In this game, the Knicks' Towns continued to appear with a left knee injury. Medical experts even suspected that he had encountered patellar tendonitis. As long as there was a collision with his left knee, he would feel very painful. This also made Towns lose his state of state when he made 1 of 6 shots and 0 of 2 three-pointers in the first quarter. Brunson is still the Knicks' thigh. He has scored 165 points in his previous five games. In this game, he scored 7 points and 2 assists in the first quarter. Miro scored 6 points and 6 rebounds in the first quarter, and 5 of them became surprises. The Knicks have been closely following the score.

Downs made another foul in the attack in the second quarter. His left knee collided again. Towns covered his left knee and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Towns lie down for a while and got up again to free throws. Towns is really hard. The king of halftime Towns scored 8 points and 7 rebounds with 3 of 10 shots, Anunobi scored 14 points, Bridges 11 points, Brunson scored 10 points and 4 assists, and the four giants have already performed in the first half.

The Knicks' outside defense has encountered huge problems. Simply put, the outside is not defending the fast break or defending the outside. The Pacers have hit 5 three-pointers in half a quarter (5 of 8 shots). A wave of flows widened the gap to 15 points. Thibodeau took the second timeout and the defensive enthusiasm increased, and stopped Carlisle 7-0. Toppin and McCon made another three-pointer. The difference between the two teams reached 15. After the Knicks started in the third quarter, four of the five Tigers scored in double digits, but the team was 15 points behind.

The Knicks started with a 6-0 wave at the beginning of the final quarter. Toppin made a foul to stabilize the situation. Nembhard successfully defeated Brunson and then broke the attack in one-stop. Bridges, Brunson and Towns all wanted to grab a three-pointer and missed. Toppin's two dunks, and the gap between the two teams has widened to 19 points. Brunson was replaced by the team 1 minute and 52 seconds in advance and was eliminated.

Full game, Brunson scored 19 points, 7 assists and 5 turnovers, Towns scored 22 points and 14 rebounds, Anunobi scored 24 points and 5 rebounds, and Bridges scored 15 points and 4 rebounds.
