Pacers’ Relentless Pace Shocks Knicks, Sparks Stunning Playoff Exit in Game 6 Thriller
In this series against the Knicks’ physical front line, Bryant has mostly been relegated to the bench. He came into Game 6 with 22 minutes played in the series and four points. Rick Carlisle has opted to play Tony Bradley instead to counter Robinson’s effectiveness on the glass.
Bradley was hurt coming into Game 6 and, although he was active, that likely played a role in Bryant getting minutes. But this time, Bryant was ready.
He scored 11 points on 3-of-5 shooting. All three makes were 3-pointers, and his gravity created real problems for the Knicks defense. They’ve been completely ignoring Bradley on offense when he played in the series, and that was no longer an option with Bryant’s hot hand.
