Knicks Unleash Stunning Strategy to Edge Out Pacers in Nail-Biting Game 3 Thriller
Same Story, Different Ending
Townsâ explosion to start the fourth quarter got the Knicks back in a game that seemed over, but it wasnât the end. It just made for another clutch game against the team that has dominated the clutch in the postseason.
They also had to navigate much of the fourth quarter without Brunson, who picked up his fifth foul with 7:03 remaining and didnât come back in until the 1:37 mark.
That changed the complexion of the game. The Knicks arenât better without Brunson, but the Pacers strategy was to attack Brunson and Towns as much as possible on offense. McBride had a better game defensively than Brunson and navigated screens much better. It was similar to the start of the fourth quarter in that it gave the Pacers a different look, and one they didnât solve right away.
