Brunson is 31+2+5% of supporting roles? The Knicks lost to the Pacers away, and he said this after the game!

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, four games have passed between the East and West Finals. The Timberwolves and the Knicks have the same fate, 1-3 behind the Thunder and the Pacers respectively. The two teams seem to have touched the floor of the finals with one hand, and a battle of dragons and tigers is ready to go!

Downs is probably depressed now: this similar fate must not have anything to do with me!

Brunson:………

Edwards:………

Okay, let’s get to the point!

In this game, Brunson played 36 minutes, made 9 of 19 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, and scored 31 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists. He scored 30+ for the ninth time in the playoffs this season, and with 417 points + 114 assists, he became the first player in team history to achieve at least 450 points and 100 assists in a single playoff journey.

should have been Brunson's night of fame, but Halliburton, who had triple-double + 0 mistakes, this achievement is enough to be recorded in history and has a cross-generational significance. It is estimated that the most difficult thing for the NBA to break the record in the future is Jordan's 10 scoring champion, James' "411" project and McGrady's 35.13 minutes, Halliburton's 32+12+15 and 0 mistakes. It is easy to get a triple-double, and 0 mistakes are easy to make, but it is not that good to put together!

Halliburton opened fire as soon as he started the game, scoring 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the first quarter, directly leading the team away, and the whole team scored 43 points. Throughout the game, he was like a magician, scoring, passing, stealing (4 steals in the whole game), with a plus or negative value of up to +16, and is the absolute hero of the team's winning.

In addition to Brunson, Anunobi and Towns also performed well, one with 22 points and the other with 24 points and 12 rebounds. The three of them scored 20+, but they were helpless and lost the game in the end!

Brunson said in an interview after the game: "Looking at the statistics, we made 17 mistakes, which made our opponents get a lot of points. In this level of confrontation, if you can't protect the ball, you won't see a chance to win."

Really! The Knicks made up 17 mistakes, 6 more than the Pacers, because of the mistakes, the Pacers made up 11 steals, and the fast break was 10 more than the Knicks! Especially at the beginning of the third quarter, the Pacers made a 8-0 climax, and the score difference widened to double digits, and it was difficult to chase after it. Although everyone is working hard and Hart graduated with six fouls, facing Halliburton's historical performance and the team's own continuous mistakes, Brunson's 31 points can only be an "empty cut".

Pacers won not entirely rely on Halliburton. Siakam steadily contributed 30 points and 5 rebounds, and Matherin, who came on the bench, became a surprise player. He scored 20 points efficiently in just 12 minutes! The team cooperated smoothly and had a high shooting percentage (two-point shooting percentage 57% and three-point shooting percentage 40.6%). He seized the Knicks' mistake and fought back!

This victory is of great significance to the Pacers! They got the match point, only one victory from the finals. Since 2014, they have finally come so close to the finals again. For the Knicks, history tells them that falling behind 1-3 is difficult to turn around, and only happened 13 times. The next time they return to New York, they must fight against each other
