One big difference is the Knicks played tight defense the entire game and were right in the Pacers face. This made those 23-26 foot three pointers harder to take. If they can shut down the “long ball” they can win. Also, Towns and Robinson inside are both key to points in the paint and they must have that threat because the Pacers as a team have very strong three point shooters. Also, the Knick subs need to step up and play strong when Brunson and or Towns take an extended breather. Warning up the DVR!
I think the Knicks have done an extremely good job in the non-Brunson minutes. In fact, you could make a case for him to get a couple of extra minutes of rest.
