The Knicks G3 failed to continue the first two games in the NBA playoffs, losing the game 93-115, and the score in the series was chased to 2-1. In this game, the Celtics' desire to survive was soaring, and their belief in winning was obviously stronger than the Knicks. On the other hand, the Knicks lost their hot state in the first two games of the series. What is even more sad is that the Knicks not only lost this game, but also the star of the star Towns also suffered from a fractured left hand injury.

When the game entered 7 minutes and 34 seconds, Towns made a single shot and hit 2+1 after the throwing shot, which also injured Towns' left finger, which was already bandaged, again. He bent over and covered his hands with an extremely painful expression, and said to the bench, "I have a broken bone", but the subsequent extra penalty hit steadily. The two sides entered the dead ball in the next round. I originally thought that Thibodeau would replace Towns with a check on his injury, and at least take a break, but Thibodeau still put Towns on the field and even played the whole game.

Downs played for 36 minutes with injuries in this game, made 5 of 18 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, scored 21 points and 15 rebounds, with a plus-negative value of -19. Although the efficiency is not very high, the whole game was very tough and did not reduce the intensity of the confrontation due to a fracture of the left finger. Towns has suffered injuries many times in his career, with relatively serious injuries including knee and calf strains, wrist fractures, meniscus tearing on his left knee, etc., which seems to have some glass properties.

When Thibodeau learned that Towns had injured his left finger again, he did not show any concern. Instead, he said at the post-match press conference: Players will definitely be impacted, which is inevitable, but they must dare to overcome this, and no one can maintain 100% health! It can be clearly felt from Thibodeau's words that he was helping Towns overcome the injury problem and then continue to play in the next game. Finally, I have to say that Thibodeau's employing methods are really unique. No matter what happens, he will only fight the main force.
