Domineering, Knicks Jaylen Brunson reveals his mentality of winning the Pacers in Game 6

Basketball

Knicks superstar Jaylen Brunson analyzed the team's mentality when the season was unpredictable when the victory or defeat was unpredictable in Game 6 against the Pacers.

The New York Knicks are about to usher in the sixth life-and-death game in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, and they are facing elimination away against the Indiana Pacers. After a 111-94 win in Game 5, New York's season remains alive, thanks largely to Jaylen Brunson's leadership.

Brunson took control of the game from the beginning, scoring 32 points and sending 5 assists, leading the Knicks to dominate from beginning to end. Now, the series leads Indiana 3-2, with the pressure shifting to Game 6, and New York has to replicate their performance to force Game 7 back to Madison Square Garden.

In a video shared by SNY TV Knicks Video X (formerly Twitter), the former Villanova Wildcats player talked about what the team must do to extend the playoff journey.

"To win, we must believe. Keep believing in what we do... don't give up," Brunson said.

This mentality is crucial as the competition between the Pacers and the Knicks becomes increasingly fierce. The Pacers have lost two consecutive games since March 10, and they are full of fighting spirit and strive to qualify for the NBA Playoff Finals at the Gainbridge Arena.

New York's defense was suffocating in Game 5, with the Pacers scoring just 94 points - their worst offensive performance to date in the playoffs. Key players such as Carl Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson have given the Knicks a physical advantage, while role players such as Landry Shamet and Deron Wright provide in-depth playing time at key moments.

Knicks hope to continue the momentum of the series, and they need Brunson to show great efforts again, who averaged more than 33 points per game this season. Saturday night's victory will lay the foundation for New York's seventh game and also give the Knicks a chance to complete a 3-1 big comeback in one of the most eye-catching series in the NBA playoffs.
