The third 20-point reversal, 6 wins and 1 loss away! Towns scored 20 points in the final quarter, Brunson scored 23 points

Basketball

In the desperate situation of falling behind 0-2 at home, the Knicks completed a 20-point reversal away today, defeating the Pacers 106-100, rewriting the big score to 1-2, and refusing to fall 0-3. The Knicks' away record in the playoffs this season has also reached 6 wins and 1 loss, only losing to the Celtics in one game.

In today's key game, the Knicks fell behind to 20 points, but with Towns's only 20 points in the last quarter, the Knicks successfully completed a big reversal. It is worth mentioning that this is also the third time that the Knicks have made a 20-point reversal in the playoffs this season. They had two consecutive 20-point reversals against the Celtics. In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks were also reversals of 17 points by the Pacers. If the Knicks did not lose in this game, they will be the one who leads 2-1 now.

Downs and Brunson were the Knicks' winning contributors today. Although both of them were troubled by fouls and both made 5 fouls, fortunately, they did not leave the game and decided the outcome of the game in the final quarter.

Towns performed poorly in the last game and was even more hidden in the final quarter. Today, Towns ushered in a big explosion, playing in 33 minutes, shooting 8 of 17 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scoring a large double-double with 24 points and 15 rebounds. In the first three quarters, Towns was still not in shape. He made 2 of 7 shots in the halftime, 0 of 2 three-pointers, scored only 4 points and 6 rebounds, and made 3 fouls. He only scored 4 points at the end of the first three quarters. But in the last quarter, Towns scored 20 points and 8 rebounds in a single quarter, leading the team to a net victory of 16 points in a single quarter, successfully completing a 20-point comeback.

Brunson, who scored 43 points and 36 points in the past two games, had a poor touch today. He played for 30 minutes, made 6 of 18 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, scored 23 points and 2 rebounds, and made 3 turnovers and 5 fouls. In the first quarter, Brunson was very lethal, making 2 of 6 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 11 points. Affected by too many fouls, Brunson will sit on the bench for a long time in the final quarter, and finally gets a chance to play at the last moment, and uses one throw and two free throws to help the Knicks secure the victory.

Anunobi performed well on both offense and defense. He played for 37 minutes, made 6 of 9 shots, 4 of 6 of 3-pointers, 0 of 2 free throws, and scored 16 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. In the first half, Anunobi made 4 of 7 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 10 points and 2 blocks.

Bridges has a moderate touch, played for 37 minutes, made 6 of 18 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 15 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals. Hart changed from starting to substitute today, playing for 34 minutes, making 1 of 3 shots, 0 of 2 of 3 points, 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 8 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. In the last moment, Hart struggled to grab the rebound, causing a foul to hit two key free throws, helping the Knicks win.
