After a disappointing Game 4 loss against the Indiana Pacers, Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce declared that the New York Knicks’ playoff journey has come to an end.
“They’re COOKED…,” Pierce said on Undisputed. “I just didn’t think what they were doing was sustainable… First three games [Donte] DiVincenzo was averaging 29 points per game, 50% from the field, 56% from three. Josh Hart through the first three games – 17 points, 15 rebounds, six assists, 65% from the field, 60% from the three. If they played at that level during the season, that’s All-NBA…
“And with the injuries that the Knicks have sustained, I just really think the Cinderella run is over for the Knicks… I don’t believe they can recover from this. This is one of the worst losses in franchise playoff history.”
With Game 5 scheduled for Tuesday at Madison Square Garden, both teams are now tied, intensifying the stakes for a pivotal showdown in New York.
