Ahead of Game 6 against the Pacers, Coach Thibodeau and players emphasized the importance of teamwork and defensive strategies. Key players like Jalen and Towns showed aggression, while the bench sustained that intensity. Issues with turnovers were highlighted, urging players to simplify their playmaking. They've focused on defensive improvements to limit opponents' scoring opportunities. The team's mindset is crucial, framed as a do-or-die scenario, pushing them to raise their energy and execution levels to avoid elimination.
We have no more room for error. It's our backs against the wall, and every game is do or die. So, if we don't bring that energy, we don't bring that execution, our season will be over.
Sometimes it's a combination of [Haliburton] missing some shots he normally makes, but our guys were tied together and tried to make him work for everything.
