And come to think of it, the Knicks has like 7-8 players in this game, and Josh Hart has to go to the bench first time. And it's maybe because Alex Burks is also feeling it and so is Donte DiVincenzo, and most likely he learn a lot from playing with Steph Curry.
And same with the Nuggets and Wolves series, the Pacers was able to get back in this game with that huge win and avoid a 3-0 hole. Great game by Haliburton as well, first time in this series that he had a good first half that carries over, and that Miles playing solid defense with a good block on Josh Hart.
Yes, it was Alex Burks who did the change. I think when Coach Thibodeau saw that Burks could somehow help out on both ends of the floor, thats when he made the decision to bench Josh Hart. Risky but Burks did some damage agaisnt the Pacers too.
About Haliburton, most analasys always tell that he need sto put more volume in his shots. The team trust him a d whatever the result will be after his shot, I think they can survive it. Its Haliburton which is the problem. He is too shy to shoot the ball with a thought of being the distributor but that is a weakness. If a team alreqdy predicted what you will do then turnovers will happen.
