Thibodeau: Any lead in the playoffs is not safe, because the three-pointer will be reversed as long as it is slightly relaxed

May 26th In the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks finally defeated the Pacers 106-100 while falling behind 20 points, rewriting the series score to 1-2. After the game, the Knicks coach talked about today's reversal battle: "In the playoffs, I know that some people may roll their eyes when I say 'No lead is safe', but that's it. In my opinion, with three-pointers now, people can quickly catch up, which is like a copy-paste game where the score gap can be quickly filled. So, now you always see the reversal happening because it happens if you relax a little bit."

It is worth mentioning that the Knicks have already completed the reversal in three games this year while falling behind by 20 points, creating new NBA history. Previously, facing the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, the Knicks won the final victory when they were once 20 points behind in two games on May 6 and 8.
