The Knicks suffered a disappointing 130-121 defeat to the Pacers in Game 4, highlighting the need for improvement in energy and execution. Coach Thibs pointed out issues such as lack of intensity, early turnovers, and poor first-quarter performance that led to the loss. He emphasized the importance of striving for perfection in every possession and maintaining a reset mindset heading into Game 5. The team hopes to rally and improve on their mistakes as they prepare for the upcoming home game, significant for their playoff ambitions.
We start the third without great energy, and you can't do that. Once it gets to double figures, now they've got more confidence.
That set the tone for the game, giving up 43 points and then we turn it over against them, particularly the live ball turnovers.
Each possession is critical. And at the end you obviously want to make more winning plays than they do and we haven't done that.
The important thing is to reset, you're not playing the series, you're playing the game.
