Indianapolis – so much new York Knicks‘Impossible Postsen Yatra-fourth returned by his 21-0 run in quarter and defeated back Detroit piston In his playoff opener, Carl-Athony TownSunday’s game 3 to win the back of the 20-point fourth quarter to win back Indiana Pacers – The team’s hatred has been predicted to dig out of deep holes.

And if the niches are going to move forward in the NBA final, they need to climb at least one.

New York exited the gate on Tuesday night, 43 points in the first quarter and a close journey for Star Guard. Tieres haliburton In the first half. This was a sign of things to come. And even though the nix stayed within the striking distance, they could not generate enough defensive stops for a return, a return, losing 130-121 In game 4 in gamebridge Fieldhouse.

With defeat, New York launched Indiana 3–1 in the final of the Eastern Conference. This means that Nix will need to defeat pacers-three straight time to reach the final from the beginning of March.

Nix succeeded in pulling within six points in the closing minutes, wondering whether they would again unimpressed after entering double digits in the last quarter. But New York was not sufficient this time – especially on defense – Heliberton and as Pascal Siakam Took under the stretch.

“In the right fashion for our entire playoff runs, we put ourselves in a loss, dropped ourselves from the deficit, and then usually we feel good about us in a close game in the fourth quarter and showing our flexibility. But if you put yourself in that situation many times, you get burnt.” “We feel that we are going to find that one trick again in the fourth quarter. We did not have that magic tonight.”

Many niches underlined the challenges facing these pacers. More than most clubs, pacers pay you for turnover. New York has learned it in a difficult way, and has again done with 17 diverse on Tuesday -five to five Josh heart Alone – that Indiana cash for 20 points.

In addition, Rick Carlisle’s mental task of guarding the up-tempo team, which constantly forces proper defensive winds-a process that exploits a team for the most small back-and mistake.

Using the relatively new early five, between the nix and they have different replacement patterns due to the problem of early dishonesty, pacers have repeatedly found easy baskets when they redeem those misconceptions.

It was not as if Nix did not have his own aggressive success. Jalan Brunson And the towns combined for 55 points – and 19 trips for the free throw line – 50% shooting from the ground. Og Annobi In the paint, aggressively became a second-half focal point, and made a efficient effort of 22 points.

But Flipside was revealing: Haliberton and Siakam also jointly shot 50%jointly for 62 points. Heliberton had a historical playoff state lineAccording to ESPN Research, becoming the first player in Postsen history to log in at least 30 points, 15 aids and 10 rebounds since turnover without a turnover, was first tracked in 1977-78.

Pacers reserve Benedict Maithurin There were also 20 points and only eight shots.

Brunson, which is targeted on defense throughout the series by Haliburn and Pacries, admitted that they had to be more effective.

“I’m not enough,” he said. “When it comes, there should be a difference from me.”

The towns then said that the entire team has the responsibility of better protect Heliberton.

“This is not just to him. It belongs to all of us,” the Towns said, who went to the postgame news conference with a heavy lame after retaining a late knee injury in the fourth quarter, although he was in the game. “We all have to do a better job to make it more difficult to score for each of them.”
