Domineering, Towns talks about 1-3 behind the Pacers: We are the team that can complete impossible tasks

Carl-Anthony Towns knows the Knicks have the ability to turn things around in a series against the Pacers. Carl Anthony Towns and his teammates can no longer bear the consequences of losing the game again after losing 121-130 away to the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Otherwise, for New York it was like taking an early leave, they made many mistakes and made bad decisions in Game 4.

The Knicks need to reflect on the many losses in Tuesday's game. First, they keep making mistakes, which makes them suffer. New York made 17 turnovers in Game 4, while the Pacers had only 11.

However, Towns still trusts the Knicks.

"We are a team that can find ways to complete impossible tasks when it seems impossible, (reposted from the Knicks video)" the former Kentucks Wildcats star said at a post-match press conference with Knicks guard Jaylen Brunson beside him.

"We will continue to fight. This will be a testament to our entire playoff journey. Now we have to devote ourselves to one of the most important battles in our lives and seasons."

The New York Knicks can draw inspiration from the first and second rounds of the 2025 NBA playoffs, especially in the series against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. Despite facing the then-defending champion Boston, the Knicks beat the Celtics in six games. But unlike the Boston series where the Knicks won the first two games, the New York Knicks lost to the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 and 2 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Knicks reversed and won the third game, and Towns exploded in the fourth quarter and scored 20 points, but they did not show the same fighting spirit in the fourth game.

Defense was a big problem for the New York Knicks in Game 4, and the Pacers easily scored on the conversion offense. The Knicks were overtaken by the Indiana Pacers with a rebound of 33-44, and the Pacers also scored 22 points through fast breaks. Instead, New York scored only nine points in the conversion offense. The Knicks will return to Madison Square Garden for Game 5 on Thursday, striving to extend the series.
