The Knicks find themselves on the brink of elimination against the Pacers, suffering from a loss that erased their momentum from a previous series victory. Game 1 showcased potential for a sweep, but a critical shot shifted the tide. Despite being at home, their losses felt definitive. Coach Tom Thibodeau's adjustments in Game 4 provided a temporary reprieve, but inconsistent decisions about player rotations, particularly regarding Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson, raise questions about the Knicks' chances heading into Game 5, where they must rally to keep their hopes alive.
"Every ounce of momentum and wind behind their sails was gone. Just like that. In a flash, or a New York minute, I just knew from witnessing every shocking moment between the two teams during their infamous 90's battles, that it was going to be very hard for the Knicks to mentally rebound from that shot."
"Dropping both games at home felt like the nail in the coffin for the Knicks. But in Game 4, Tom Thibodeau finally did what fans and analysts had been urging all season: he expanded the rotation and moved Josh Hart to the bench."
