20 points reversal! The hardest battle of Downs' career, save the Knicks! The East Showdown is so exciting!

The East Decisive is still too exciting.

The Knicks 106-100 Pacers, the big score chased to 1-2.

Towns 24 points and 15 rebounds, Brunson 24 points and 2 rebounds, Anunoby 16 points, 2 rebounds and 3 blocks, Bridges 15 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals, Hart 8 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, McBride 9 points;

Haliburton had 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Siakam had 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Turner had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Nesmith had 8 points and 7 rebounds, Nembhard had 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Toppin had 8 points and 4 rebounds, and McConnell had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

At most, the Pacers led by 20 points, but the visitors were beaten 36-20 in the final quarter and suffered a big comeback.

A sentence that is fully illustrated:If you come out to mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

The Pacers led by 10 points at 80-70 heading into the fourth quarter, but ultimately lost. Prior to this year's playoffs, the Pacers led six times into the fourth quarter, winning all of them.

In the past, it was the Pacers who reversed others, but today it is their turn to swallow the bitter fruit.

In this year's playoffs, Indiana lost the game at a crucial moment for the first time (the last 5 minutes, the difference was within 5 minutes. ）

How did the Knicks turn it over?

Undoubtedly, Downs.

Mr. Tang played the hardest game of his playoff career.

In the final quarter, he led the team to a Jedi counterattack and pulled the team back from the edge of the cliff.

In the first three quarters, he played like, scoring only 4 points, and turned into a god of war in the last quarter, scoring 20 points and 8 boards to lead the team to a reversal.

In this game, he played 33 minutes, shooting 8 of 17, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 24 points, 15 rebounds and 1 assist.

You know, this is the man who was DNP by Thibodeau at the end of G2.

The only one who can redeem himself is himself.

What's even more outrageous is that this ball was played back by Mr. Tang with McBride and other substitutes.

When he threw himself inside and out, the big head sat underneath.

Although the Knicks won, we still have to find faults:

Brunson and Mr. Don still have too little connection, the big head plays, Downs turns back and runs...

This is a very typical Thibodeau team characteristic, just give it to the big brother, when he led the Bulls, the level depends on Rose.

Today was a loss-or-death game for Nick, and Thibodeau took the lead in adjusting.

The starting lineup consists of Jalen Brunson, O.G. Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, Downs and Mitchell Robinson.

That said, Josh Hart, who started the first two games, was moved to the bench.

The purpose of this adjustment is also obvious, to enhance the defensive intensity and rebounding advantage through Robinson's deterrence under the basket.

Does it work? It's hard to evaluate.

After all, Hart, who came off the bench, also did 34 minutes.

This ball came back, which was a victory for Downs' personal heroism, and it didn't seem to have much to do with the effect of the change of formation.

Where do the Pacers lose?

The Pacers were 5-of-25 from three-point range, compared to 15-of-37 and 13-of-30 from three-point range in the previous two games.

A team that relies on the outside and relies on offense to hit people, and it is not surprising to lose with such a three-point shot.

If you enter one more outside line, the ending may be rewritten.

On the other hand, you'll find one of the Pacers' weaknesses in this game:The eldest brother is not good enough, they lack a breaking point.

Especially in the final quarter, when the Knicks were chasing consecutive points, Siakam tried his best, but Harry, the ball handler, hesitated.

On the other hand, Brunson, no matter what happened ahead, he should do the key ball by himself, and he still didn't show mercy.

From the perspective of us viewers, it doesn't mean to want to see 2-1, 3-0.

But for the Pacers, it's a pity today.

The next game will be a watershed moment for the series.
