Why the knicks already have everything they need to save their playoff hopes

Why the knicks already have everything they need to save their playoff hopes


Play all audios:


To paraphrase Kevin Millar: Don’t let them win Game 5. The thing about these Eastern Conference finals, about this 3-1 deficit the Knicks are facing heading back home for Thursday’s


do-or-die Game 5 against the Pacers, is that it feels a lot less like the Pacers are running the Knicks off the floor and a lot more like the Knicks are leaving something on the table. The


Knicks’ nine-point loss in Game 4 on Tuesday was the most lopsided game of the series, and as well as the Pacers played — Tyrese Haliburton putting up a 32-point triple-double, Aaron Nesmith


coming off injury and shooting well, Pascal Siakam dropping 30, Bennedict Mathurin putting in 20 off the bench — the overwhelming feeling coming out of it was that the Knicks had put up a


stinker. Maybe there’s some bias there (this is a New York paper after all), and this isn’t meant to diminish what’s been an excellent series from Indiana.
