US media praises "Thanos Tang" to keep the Eastern Conference Finals! Record-breaking hidden dangers, experts show their limp and worry about their left knee

Knicks reversed the Pacers by 20 points, and the score was 1-2. This game of G3 Knicks was successful by relying on Towns to force his life in the final quarter. After all, if this game of G3 fails, waiting for the Knicks will inevitably be eliminated, because there is no precedent for reversals in NBA history of 0-3.

Downs played 11 minutes in the last quarter, 6 of 9, 3 of 4 of 3-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist. It was him who smoothed the 10 points behind after the three quarters. Towns' performance in the last quarter was almost perfect.

Downs made 8 of 17 minutes, 3 of 7 three-pointers, scored 24 points, 15 rebounds, 1 assist, 6 turnovers and 5 fouls. He made 2+ 7 three-pointers and 0 of 2 three-pointers and only scored 4 points before the last quarter.

US media posted the data of Towns sighed: Towns helped the Knicks still stay in the series.

New York media PS Downs is Thanos's picture praising him, it's the night that belongs to Downs, and thanks him very much.

Downs also became the second player in the Knicks' history to score 20+ in the final quarter in the playoffs. Brunson scored 20 points in the final quarter of G1 in the 2024 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.

Downs has a very high value in this game. Carlisle's targeted defense against Towns and Brunson has been quite successful. Moreover, Towns and Brunson were both troubled by fouls early, but they did not expect Towns to explode in the last quarter.

However, medical expert Evan Jeffries showed that there was 1 minute and 35 seconds left in the last quarter when Towns limped on the court. He wrote: "KAT keeps moving his left knee, and in the last few minutes his left knee looks very uncomfortable. He underwent meniscus repair surgery for left knee in 2024." (If Towns' knee injury occurs again, it is a matter of time before the Knicks is eliminated. I hope KAT's left knee is not seriously injured)
