- IND 130, NYK 121 - Game 4 Physicality Report IND-NYK SERIES ..."physicality suffered"
Our series long theme -- the Knicks have not put enough "physicality suffered" on Haliburton -- played out with Tyrese posting a 32 Pts, 15 Ast, 12 Reb, 4 Stl, 0 T/O masterpiece. Brunson rates #1 in most physicality suffered among all players, Haliburton ranks #7. Does it help to get through a game/series without a lot of punishing hits? YOU decide...
NEW YORK KNICKS
Karl-Anthony Towns had the huge fourth quarter (11 wins), but was also making things happen in Q2 (7 wins), as he went on to the lead the team in all physicality categories as predicted in the bounceback from the poor game two. He remains the king of the "Level 2+ Force play" as well.
INDIANA PACERS
Pascal Siakam Once again the star player on offense for the Pacers was the star on physicality too. Funny how that works! Siakam has led in RPR for Indiana both games and had game high wins while enduring the most 'level 2+ force plays' on physicality suffered (and 12 falls). Brilliant game for Pascal to help IND get up 2-0.
INDIANA PACERS
Aaron Nesmith Must be considered the player of the game for his incredible shooting late to get the Pacers back within striking distance. The physicality side though also positions him as the star, leading all players in 'physical plays' while enduring collosal physicality suffered (and a game high 16 falls), and expending immense energy putting physical wear on Brunson in particular, which may pay dividends as the series progresses.
