Towns beat the Pacers 24+13! Brunson beat Harry 8 points in 32+5, and the Knicks find a way to win

On May 30, the NBA playoffs continued. Today, the Eastern Conference Finals ushered in the G5 competition. The Pacers led 3-1 in the first four games. In this game, they came to Madison Garden. The Knicks, who were at home, must have wanted to win the game. They have not given up the series yet. The Pacers are also afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, and they also want to win this game. Both sides performed well in this game. Next, let’s talk about the game process and then talk about the players’ performance.

Match Review:

Brunson scored 6-0 at the beginning of the first quarter, and Brunson scored 6-0 for the Knicks. Turner hit a three-pointer and opened the situation. Anunobi and Miro scored 5 points together. Sika and Shepard scored 7 points together to help the team catch up with the score difference. Bridges hit the middle distance, Halliburton made two free throws, and then the game entered the Knicks' rhythm. They had a 15-7 climax to establish a 9-point lead. However, Sika and Matherin scored 5 points in a row to help the Pacers catch up to 4 points behind.

Downs scored 5 points in a row with free throws in the second quarter. McConaughey and Toppin made a substitute, helping the team to catch up to only 2 points. McBride and Hart scored 6 points together, Shamet and Anunobi scored one after another, and the Knicks scored a climax of offense expanded the lead to 14 points, Halliburton and Turner scored 4 points together to stop the bleeding, Mathering and Walker hit three-pointers one after another, and the team to catch up to only 7 points, but Bridges and Towns scored one after another, helping the Knicks lead by 11 points after halftime.

The change of sides fought Brunson again and started his personal mode. He scored 7 points in a row in the inside and outside shots to help the team expand its advantage to more than 15 points. Since then, the Knicks' firepower has not diminished. As Towns and Anunobi scored one after another, they expanded their lead to 20 points. However, Towns committed the rest of the next four, and the Pacers seized the opportunity to chase after only 12 points. At the end of the quarter, Bridges and Brunson scored one after another to help the team stabilize the situation. After the three quarters, the Knicks led by 17 points.

The Pacers still didn't want to give up in the final quarter. They once chased to only 12 points, but at a critical moment, Towns stood up to help the team stabilize the situation. In the end, the Knicks defeated the Pacers 111-94, and the two sides came to the Knicks 2-3 Pacers with a big score.

Pacers were collectively sluggish

Faced with the desperate Knicks, I thought the Pacers' core players would set an example, but Halliburton's performance was disappointing. As the boss of the team, he did not set a decent example. He made 2 of 7 shots in the game, scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and his offensive end was too poor. Sika's performance was not good in this game. She made 5 of 13 shots and scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. The dual-core game can only rely on role players.

In this game, Turner was hit by Towns and was troubled by fouls, which also affected the Pacers' lineup rotation, so the Pacers were in a passive position. The substitute players still performed well in this game. Mathering scored 23 points and 8 rebounds, Toppin scored 11 points and 2 rebounds, and McConaughey scored 7 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, but the team's core players did not play, and it was difficult to win the game by relying solely on role players to drive the team.

However, the role players such as Pacers are indeed very powerful, and relying on their performance, they retained the suspense of the game. After the end of this game, although the Pacers got the match point, I think this round of series may not be over yet. The Knicks have a good chance to drag into the tiebreak and win the series because they found their own rhythm and also found the Pacers' shortcomings. All they have to do in the following game is to persevere.

Tibodeau finally understood how to play

series G4, I said that they should insist on playing Towns, but the Knicks did not do so, and they lost in the end. In this game, the team gave Towns more ball rights, allowing Towns to stand up and kill from the beginning of the game. It was precisely because he hit Turner until he was troubled by fouls that he broke the Pacers' rotation. In this game, Towns made 10 of 20 shots in the game, made 1 of 4 three-pointers and scored 24 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists. Although he played with injuries, he was still very fierce.

Brunson made 12 of 17 shots in this game, 4 of 6 three-pointers and scored 32 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Brunson's choice on the offensive end in this game is very reasonable. The opponent's shot speed is faster when he hits him, and it also reduces sticking to the ball. This is the key to the team's offensive rhythm. In addition, the Knicks no longer play with the Pacers. They use their good defense to consume their opponents while reducing mistakes. The team is still stronger, but Thibodeau has been led by Carlisle before and has lost himself.

If you insist on playing Towns and playing your own defensive strength, the Pacers will still feel uncomfortable. The difference in strength between the two teams is so big that Thibodeau was completely defeated by Carlisle. If both sides return to the same starting line, the Knicks are obviously a stronger team. However, Towns still needs to pay attention to his small moves. Many times, sitting off the court to rest due to some unnecessary fouls also affects the team's offense and defense.
