In the previous NBA Eastern Conference G1, the Indiana Pacers, ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, defeated the New York Knicks, ranked third in the Eastern Conference in the regular season after a tough overtime battle, 138-135 after a tough game. After this game, the Pacers successfully completed the following draws, gained a 1-0 advantage in the first round of the series, and regained the home advantage.

In this game, the Pacers' starting and backcourt player Andrew Nembhard still performed very well. Nemhard played 35 minutes and 02 seconds in the whole game, made 6 of 10 shots, 2 of 3 points from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and had 3 turnovers and 5 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +1. Nemhard also showed a relatively comprehensive personal ability on the offensive end. His offensive efficiency is quite stable. He can create threats outside the three-point line. He also got a lot of points when he didn't make many shots, providing a lot of support for the team. Nemhard's performance in passing and offense is also worthy of recognition, and he can also share the pressure on his backcourt partner Tyrese Haliburton in this regard. Nemhard also played his value on the court, and he also made great contributions to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Nemhard made a total of 65 appearances in 82 games, averaging 28.9 minutes per game, averaging 10 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 79.4%. In the playoffs, Nemhard averaged 33 minutes of playing time in the first 10 games, with averaging 14.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. He shot 51.3%, three-point shooting percentage 51.1%, and free throw shooting percentage 83.3%.

Nemhard's performance during the playoffs this season exceeded everyone's expectations, his overall data has been further improved than the regular season stage, his offensive efficiency is excellent, his three-point shooting percentage has also been significantly improved, he can also play his role in passing and organizing offense, and his performance on the defensive end is also quite outstanding. Nemhard was simply amazing during the playoffs, and he was really good on the court. The Pacers' ability to perform like this during the playoffs is also closely related to Nemhard's performance. Some players are born for the playoffs, and perhaps Nemhard will become a key figure in the team's success this season?
