scored 43 points in a single quarter of the playoffs, and the feel was not lost in frequent runnings. The Pacers' shooting percentage was as high as 68%. The Knicks were not weak, with a shooting percentage of 56%, but the Pacers who are used to running and shooting were obviously higher.

Pacers made 13 of 19, including Halliburton’s 4 of 5, Siakam’s 4 of 7, Nesmith’s 3 of 4, Mathering’s 2 of 3,

, and the Knicks, Thibodeau used 10 players to rotate in this game to deal with the Pacers’ running and kick. Only Brunson scored in double points in the first quarter and scored 13 points in a single quarter.

During the suspension of the last quarter, a reporter from the New York Basketball Times posted a speech by Thibodeau to the players: Run and run, don’t jog! They want to fight us but have not yet established a firm foothold. Sprint, sprint, sprint. Work harder, guys, work harder and pay attention to communication! Priority is given to protecting the ball, and the ball must not be given! Be cheered up, you are obviously much better than this!

The Five Knicks Tigers are known as "the donkey of the production team". Their playing time has always been among the best in the league. This game is a bit of a "life and death game" compared to the Knicks. Thibodeau rarely adjusts the rotation lineup. In the second quarter, Thibodeau sent Achouwa, and at this point, the Knicks' lineup has increased to 10 people.

This game, the Pacers still had the advantage in the field. If they could win at home, they would go to the Knicks' home court to play the G5 game with a huge advantage. This season, the Knicks had many records of backing and winning when they were behind in big scores. I believe they would not give up easily in this game.

It is worth mentioning that according to data media StatMuse, there are five players with the highest positive and negative values ​​so far in the division final, three of which are from the Pacers, namely Conley of the Timberwolves, McBride of the Knicks, and Shepard, Nesmith and Toppin of the Pacers.
