The Knicks faced a tough conclusion to their season as they lost to Indiana in six games of the Eastern Conference Finals. Coach Thibs and players expressed disappointment over defensive lapses, turnovers, and the inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Key player Pascal Siakam stood out for Indiana, showcasing his versatile skills. While the Knicks finished in a top position, the ultimate goal of winning the championship eluded them, prompting a need for introspection and motivation for future seasons.
They got into the open floor, and that was a problem. It was hard to make up the ground.
There were stretches where we played very good defense and stretches where we didn't. I think it was probably a combination of both.
We didn't close the half well. So I thought right before the half when they sort of had that spurt that also set the tone to start the third.
In the end, there's only going to be one team that achieves the goal. And so I think the challenge for us is to look at it for what it is.
