Knicks, you are too cruel, you are 20 points behind 3 times in the playoffs, setting a new NBA record

The playoffs are a stage for superstars, and for the team, it tests resilience and ability to fight tough battles. The Eastern Conference has given fans too many surprises this year, and the Civilian Pacers have overturned the 64-win Cavaliers. The Knicks, the third in the East, also unexpectedly defeated the defending champion Celtics. Just today, the Knicks broke out again, achieving another 20-point comeback, successfully defeating the Pacers. You are so cruel, the NBA's unique record in 1979, and you did this year.

Pacers previously conquered two Knicks at home, and returned to their home court with a huge advantage of 2-0. They also blossomed at multiple points in this game. They were once 55-35 in the second quarter, completely suppressing the Knicks and gaining a 20-point lead. The team rotates 10 people, and it also blossoms at multiple points through running and bombing tactics. However, after that, the Knicks slowly approached the score and chased after 10 points in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, it became Towns' personal performance stage. He scored 20 points and 8 rebounds in a single quarter, leading the Knicks to achieve a big reversal, scoring 24 points and 15 rebounds in the whole game, and his performance was impeccable.

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Pacers 106-100, and they once again staged a big reversal of 20 points behind. It is worth mentioning that this is not the first major comeback in the Knicks this year's playoffs. In the G1 game of the series against the Celtics, the Knicks were once more than 20 points behind and played away. However, the forward combination broke out since then, OG Anunobi and Brunson scored frequently, dragged the score into overtime, and achieved a reversal of 108-105. At that time, Brunson and Anunobi each scored 29 points, performing very well.

In the series against the Celtics, the Knicks were also 20 points behind, but in the second half, they relied on their strong defense to limit the Celtics' offense. In the final quarter, the Knicks scored a 30-17 attack wave, Brunson hit the key goal, and in the end the Knicks reversed the Celtics 91-90 again. In that game, Hart and Towns scored more than 20 points, and Brunson and Bridges also scored in double digits, with excellent overall performance.

In this way, the Knicks have already achieved a major reversal three times in the playoffs this year, becoming the first team in the NBA to achieve this feat in 79 years. As we all know, the playoffs are a stage for the championship. They are slower than the regular season, have greater confrontation intensity, and have stronger opponents, so it is very difficult to fall behind by 20 points to reverse. If you do it once, you will be praised, and this year the Knicks did it three times in one fell swoop, which can be described as incredible.
