Lightness and boredom, the enemies of Nix
After four victories in a row, which symbolizes Excellent performance by Josh Hart become bearer again, the Nix came down from their cloud in Boston. In this regressionthey ran into an excellent Jalen Brown (42 points), although Jalen Brunson had his worst night of the season. The playmaker scored just 15 points on 6/21 shooting.
“I didn’t do my team any favors. It’s a shame. During this meeting, I didn’t help anything”, laments le All-Star.
But that wasn’t the only problem for the Knicks in this match because Mike Brown’s players started the game 17-4! After twelve minutes, everything was fine, but the next two quarters were more difficult, the Celtics won 73-44. How to analyze this? A big reaction from Boston or a drop in tension from New York?
“We can’t get tired of what works, what wins games”says Josh Hart. “I have the impression that we got tired and started to do anything, with a bad defense. We have to make sure that our priority is the success of the team.”
The offensive transition can therefore turn into a trap for the Knicks, who then tend to let their guard down. Against Boston, they fell into it.
“Human nature tells when you have a big breakthrough,” pursuit Josh Hart.“When you lead by 15 or 20 points, everybody wants to score, not in a bad way, but that’s human. We have to fight this. We have to make sure that, even at +15 or +20, we continue to set the tempo, play fast, play our game. It’s pretty stupid to play the style of basketball, to control, and to control, and to control.
