New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau was criticized by a former NBA star after losing Game to the Pacers.
The New York Knicks and head coach Tom Thibodeau were hoping to come back in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night and even the series at 1-1. What actually happened was not close to that goal.
Instead, the Knicks fell to a 2-0 series deficit after losing to the Pacers by a final score of 114-109.
Heading to Indiana after losing both at Madison Square Garden was not the plan for New York. For Thibodeau and company to come back and win the series, they are going to need to fix quite a few different things.
One issue has been that the Knicks have been unable to stop the Pacers defensively. Led by star point guard Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana has been shooting a very high percentage and has been getting great open looks through the first two games.
