NEW YORK - Just before the midnight clock, New York Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson sat on the podium on Wednesday, asking questions about another impossible comeback.

But this time, the mentally tough New York club (New York Club) trailed the three by double-digit victory in the series against the Boston Celtics - finding itself at the wrong end of the spectacle.

In less than three minutes, the Knicks led the Indiana Pacers to 14 points as the roar of the Madison Square Garden crowd. But, through a series of defensive mistakes and expensive turnovers, they lost in 138-135 overtime with the most sour bills to open the Eastern Conference Finals.

Due to their own admission, the failure stems from the Knicks’ failure to cross the finish line.

"Defense, we put down the gas. The intensity and body are not there," said Josh Hart. "On the offense, we have a slower game and more stagnant. It seems we are not losing."

Center Karl-Anthony Towns said he had 35 points and 12 rebounds: "There are a lot of us doing well and we let ourselves win. We played for 46 minutes. Those two minutes (that's where we lost the game), that's all of us."

It's hard to imagine that these 170 seconds could be worse for New York.

The Knicks may need a stop to finish the game and therefore cannot get the game. The Pacers managed to shoot 6-6 perfectly at that span. Five of them were triples, three of them were from Aaron Nesmith, who caught fire and finished with 30 points. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau later said: "He has too much airspace."

During that time, Indiana’s only rim wasn’t tripled — a miracle jump shot from Tyrese Haliburton, which bounced high from the rim before the regulation buzzer fell online — and it looked like it might be one, too. If so, the Pacers will win in the regulations. But the replay clarified that his feet were online, giving the Knicks some relief.

However, the Knicks also staggered in overtime. New York has 20 seconds left, and at 136-135 with a score of 136-135, it seems that he wants to foul the Pacers and hopes to get the ball back. But they paid a little for the plan, and then former Obi Toppin got a too easy dunk, and after a noticeable miscommunication on the floor, the Nick players looked at each other like strangers.

The club had to try to tie things up in the last game, but Brunson and Town both missed 3 seconds in the last 10 seconds, sealing Indiana's comeback.

This is a effort that the Knicks wastes to some extent. When 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Brunson (ends with 43 points) was forced to be eliminated with five individual fouls, which seemed a cumbersome for them.

New York led 94-92 at the time, but managed to somehow get a 16-point advantage over the next two and a half minutes, while knowing Brunson will be back on the floor soon. The garden is electric, as it looks like the walkers finally run out of the hanging answer.

But the situation for Brunson and The Knicks collapsed, which took them a confusing loss, which would cause a comparison with the Pacers in the last 10 seconds of the first game, which was the eight-minute mark that Reggie Miller named for nine seconds in the garden for nine seconds. Indiana stole the game, started the series, and then returned to MSG to end the game in Game 7, a failure for the Knicks, ending the Pat Riley era.

Bringing it back to the present day, questions about how the game will be played are always worth noting. Both the Pacers and the Knicks recorded two wins after returning from a 20-point flaw in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Brunson made the most clutch time baskets in the playoffs, while Haliburton made the most shots at the last minute of the clutch game.

The Pacers won the first strike in the first round - the Knicks were undoubtedly a little injured.

"In the playoffs, when you win, it's the best thing ever," Brunson said. Brunson said seven turnovers and admitted he needed to do more to take care of the ball. “When you lose, it’s the worst thing ever.”

Now, Brunson and The Knicks are tasked with regrouping, so they don't feel worse on Friday: heading to Indianapolis 2-0.
