Sure! Please provide the article title or content so I can create an intriguing headline for you.
It’s not like the Pacers shut Brunson down; he still got his points in the second half and the Knicks scored 35 points in the fourth quarter. But they forced him into six turnovers after halftime compared to two assists. They were able to force giveaways without it turning into easy looks for the rest of the team. That’s one way to lower the Knicks’ efficiency even when Brunson is scoring. If both teams are shooting the way they shot today, turnovers can be the difference maker.
Brunson’s a smart player and he’ll adjust to the Pacers’ aggressiveness and be ready for Game 2. But the Pacers’ tactics worked for at least one game and, their defense was just good enough to let their offense steal a game they had no business winning.
