After the blowout third game win for the Wolves in the West, the East continued to be a tight affair. Before going to face Indiana, reports of the New York coach, Tom Thibodeau, changing the lineup were rampant. The changes in the end brought the desired result for the Knicks and their fanbase as Jalen Brunson stood tall. Supporting him was Karl-Anthony Towns, who might have been lucky after early foul troubles.
The struggles were evident for the Big Bodega as he picked up three fouls before halftime. In fact, with just 23 minutes on the court, he picked up his 4th foul and his impact was only 9 points on 4-of-10 shooting, including 1-of-4 from deep, and gave away four turnovers. But ended the game strongly in his remaining 10 minutes of action as he scored 20 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter. Thus helping his team create history!
“With tonight’s win over Indiana, the @nyknicks are now the first team in the play-by-play era (1997-98 season) to achieve three 20-point comeback victories in a single playoff run. All three comeback wins were on the road.” If they successfully make the comeback, another historic stat will be in their name.
By becoming the first team to come back from down 0-2 in the Conference Finals after losing the first two games at home.
