The New York Knicks have displayed remarkable resilience during their recent games, particularly in their home matches as reflected by Coach Thibodeau's strategies. His comments highlight the importance of player matchups and cohesive defense to counter strong opponents like the Pacers. Brunson's performance notably energized the team, along with recognition of the medical staff's support. The Knicks’ bench has consistently prepared to impact games when needed, indicating a strong team identity and professionalism. Moving forward, they need to elevate their performance to continue in the series.
On his Game 5 lineup decisions: "It's just matchups and what's going on in the game. Sometimes it's impacted by foul trouble as well."
On showing better defensive cohesion: "They're a very potent offensive team. Everyone has to be tied together and on the same page."
On Brunson's third-quarter performance: "He was cooking, that's what I saw. When he's playing like that and he's hitting shots, obviously it energizes everyone."
On his aggressive mindset: "It's a testament to our team answering the call. I think tonight we did that. But we are going to have to be even better next game if we want our season to continue."
