The New York Knicks defense has played rather well, but their offense has simply not been suited for the playoffs, and has struggled throughout, as they now trail the Indiana Pacers 2 games to 1, and enter a pivital 4th game. The Knicks offennse was in charge late in the season as they scored 100 points or more in 12 of 14 games, and 95 or more in 14 of 14 games. they have been brutal since scoring more than 95 points just 1 time over their last 12 games. They have faced simikar issues in Indiana this season. the Knicks entered this season having scored 100+ at Indiana 8 straight times, having no difficulty solving the pacer's defense. This year, like the last 12 games, the Knicks have had few offensive answers here. New York has played here 3 times and scored 71,91, and 76 points or has averaged 79.33ppg. Not many teams win NBA games scoring less than 80 points. Indiana won game 3 here, despite shooting 35% and connecting on just 30% from deep, and under 70% from the free throw line. their defense eld the Knicks top 2 scorers Felton and Anthony to 7-24 shooting, as they constantly doubled them, to make someone else beat them. The end result was nobody else could, as noone outside of Anthony reached double figures. Play this one on Indiana.
