Jalen Brunson’s Game 5 Masterclass: Did the Knicks Just Unearth an NBA Superstar?
Ultimately, Game 5 came really easily to Brunson and didnât to Haliburton, which made it feel a lot different than the majority of this series.
Real or Mirage?
This victory doesnât mean Knicks fans can start booking tickets to Oklahoma City for the start of the NBA Finals. Itâs pretty common for the team trailing 3-1 to come out with more urgency in Game 5 than the team with the lead. No matter how hard the leading team might try, they canât manufacture the same sense of desperation.
The Pacers showed a couple things that could come into play in Game 6. Karl-Anthony Towns has given them fits when heâs stayed out of foul trouble and the Pacers finally showed a hard double team from his blind spot in the third quarter. Itâs something the Pacers should consider doing more often in Game 6. Make Towns a quick decision-maker and make other players on the floor score. Then, get back to attacking Towns along with Brunson on the other end.
