Interesting, Knicks Josh Hart talks about how to deal with the Pacers in Game 3

After falling behind 0-2 in the series, the Knicks need to deal with the Pacers more "steadily" against the Pacers.

As the New York Knicks trailed the Indiana Pacers 0-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals, fans undoubtedly felt desperate, and they felt that the Knicks' hopes for winning the championship were gradually slim. However, after another disappointment at home, the Knicks may have some encouraging points back into the series.

According to ESPN, the tenacious struggle and high-intensity offense that Josh Hart showed in the third game are the key to the team. He further talked about how the New York Knicks played more "stable" in Game 3. For Hart, the key is the defensive end.

"Obviously, they did a great job of transferring the ball and forcing their opponents to make mistakes. We have to be more solid on the defensive end, not only defending first and second, but also defending third," Hart said after 6 points and 4 rebounds. "We are currently trailing 0-2, and now we are going to Indiana, a tough opponent, so we have to work hard to fill the gap. No matter how late the attack is, we have to make sure that we are not defending well."

Indiana once led by 10 points, but as stars Jaylen Brunson and Hart said, the New York Knicks once fought back strongly in the game, but their counterattack was ultimately blocked because they could not stop the fast-paced Pacers.

"The defensive rotation is not enough, we need to do more and help each other," Brunson said after scoring 36 points and 11 assists.

"In the playoffs, the outcome of a lot of games depends on one or two possessions," Hart said. "We made these mistakes in two consecutive games. We have to find a way to solve them." The Knicks remain optimistic despite falling behind 0-2 in the series, as Carl Anthony Towns mentioned, the Knicks' history is not good for them, but they are still confident in their prospects for winning the championship.

"I told you what 'history' means? I'm not here to repeat history, we're here to create history." Towns left a message on social media through "Oh no, he didn't." "If I learned anything, especially last year, it's about winning two games and losing two games quickly."

People would think that defending Indiana requires a sharper mind, as Brunson said, "Now everything else doesn't matter" because it's the Eastern Conference Finals. ”

"I think so. But we've reached the Eastern Conference Finals," he said. "Now everything else isn't important. We have to play a game every other day. We are at a critical moment. The spirit is focused—everything—must be concentrated. There is no doubt about this at the moment. ”

The third game between the Knicks and the Pacers will be held on Sunday.
