Does Van Gundy suppose the Knicks will let the loss impression them in Sport 2? “They’ll have a look at the errors and decide themselves (up) and prepare to go. I don’t suppose (Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau) has to fret about (hangover from Wednesday’s loss) at the moment of yr,” Van Gundy mentioned. “Their decide and roll protection to me, early on within the recreation, (Karl-Anthony) Cities was actually again. (Myles) Turner was simply getting wide-open pictures. After which that they had some miscommunications on perimeter screens; small-small (screens). Are we switching or not? They’d breakdowns there. After which late within the recreation, they have been actually comfortable on their switches and (Aaron) Nesmith was hitting threes. To me, they’ve received to scrub up their pick-and-roll coverages, being up and extra aggressive. And their communication’s received to be lots higher on what they’re doing. “….There was not a tough three in that stretch (of Nesmith’s six threes late within the fourth quarter). It’s nonetheless onerous to make six straight threes. But it surely wasn’t just like the shot-clock ran down and somebody needed to throw one in. He received nice appears to be like. Nesmith, all 5 of his appears to be like have been nice appears to be like. And the one (Tyrese) Haliburton received, (Mikal) Bridges gave him plenty of area on that one, too. They received actually good pictures. I simply thought the Knicks’ protection in that stretch was very comfortable. And within the extra time, that they had breakdowns on (Obi) Toppin’s dunk and (Andrew) Nembhard’s again lower. They simply, defensively, didn’t get the job finished.” -via SportsNet New York / Might 23, 2025

He was there postgame, pointing at Tyrese Haliburton after the brash younger guard paid tribute to him by reenacting Miller’s well-known choke gesture on the finish of Sport 5 of the 1994 Jap Convention finals, when he scored 25 of his game-high 39 factors within the fourth quarter and engaged within the legendary back-and-forth with Spike Lee that spawned a 30 for 30, “Successful Time,” in 2010. Haliburton mentioned he’s watched that documentary “in all probability 50 occasions” rising up and had been ready — over the course of two separate playoff sequence — for the proper second to reenact Miller’s “choke” gesture in entrance of the MSG crowd. “That’s only a historic second,” Haliburton mentioned after the sport. “Clearly him versus Spike, sort of the one-on-one. I felt like [my gesture] was sort of to everyone. However to [Miller], too. I needed him to see it greater than something.” -via ESPN / Might 22, 2025
There was one historic echo that might be a shiny spot for Knicks followers, nonetheless. Haliburton even pointed it out after the sport. “I do know that they didn’t win the sequence,” Haliburton recounted. The Knicks would come again to win that 1994 Jap Convention finals in seven video games. “So I’d not prefer to repeat that.” -via ESPN / Might 22, 2025
