The Knicks played against the Pacers at home on May 30. At the end of the game, the Knicks successfully defeated the Pacers 111-94. In this game, the Knicks are already on the verge of life. If the Knicks still want to retain the suspense of this round of series, then the Knicks need to do their best. After the start of this game, the Knicks played quite firmly, so the Knicks gradually opened the score. At the same time, Brunson and Towns also performed well in this game, so the Knicks once led by 22 points. Although the Pacers later chased the points, the Knicks could also respond, and in the end the Knicks won a big victory. The reason why the Knicks were able to win the game was because they made two major changes in the game. The first major change was that the Knicks finally restricted the Pacers' inside line. The reason why the Knicks played so hard in this round of series was because the Knicks lost both inside and outside lines. The Pacers' three-pointers on the outside brought huge trouble to the Knicks, not to mention that Siakam and others were able to frequently rush to the inside to score, so under such circumstances, the Knicks played extremely difficult in the game, but in today's game, the Knicks changed this situation. Not to mention that the Pacers only scored 34 points in the Knicks' inside line, but in this game the Knicks scored 60 points in the Pacers' inside line.

The second biggest change in the Knicks was that the Knicks' substitute players stood up. Not only did Thibodeau add team rotation in this game, but the Knicks' substitute players also performed well in this game, especially in the third quarter, Towns and Brunson were not on the court for a time. At this time, it was very important for the Knicks' substitute players to withstand the Pacers' counterattack. In the end, the Knicks' substitute players scored a total of 26 points in this game. When the Knicks did such a thing, the Knicks' main players finally didn't have to play so tired in the game. Although Thibodeau's choice may seem a little late, the Knicks still retained the suspense of this round of series, and the Knicks still had a chance to turn the tables next.

At the same time, Brunson also has two points to praise here. First, Brunson reduced his shots. You should know that in the previous game, Brunson was always obsessed with singles, and at this time Brunson's offensive efficiency was not high. In addition, Brunson had defects on the defensive end, so although Brunson got a lot of points, Brunson's performance was criticized a lot of criticism. Now Brunson has reduced his shots. In this game, Brunson scored 32 points in 12 of 18 shots, while Towns made the highest 20 shots in the team. Second point Brunson finally found the offensive rhythm. In fact, Brunson played quite hard in recent games, but in this game Brunson found his own offensive rhythm, especially when Brunson was able to score continuously in the game, this was very important for the Knicks. In this game, Brunson finally found a three-pointer state, so that the Knicks also successfully opened the score. In the end, Brunson made 4 of 7 three-pointers from the outside.

And the Knicks were able to win the game, and the Lakers abandoned Hart also made great contributions. Although Hart was still on the bench in this game, Hart played very dynamically in the game, especially when Hart could help the Knicks fight for rebounds, this is a very critical thing for the Knicks. After all, the Knicks suffered a loss in rebounding in this round of the series, and now Hart is changing such things. At the same time, in this game, the Pacers once caught 12 points in the fourth quarter. At this time, Hart scored 4 points in a row to help the Knicks stabilize the situation. In this case, the Pacers broke the situation. In the end, the Knicks laughed to the end. Hart made 4 of 8 shots and scored 12 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
