Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle spoke about trying to slow down New York Knicks forward Josh Hart from going coast-to-coast during Tuesday’s media availability (24 points/13 rebounds/8 assists/3 steals/1 block/9-13 FG/1-1 3-PT/5-8 FT/+4 +/- in NY’s 121-117 Eastern Conference Semifinal Game 1 home win).
(via Indiana Pacers):
“We gotta do much better containing Hart in transition. When he gets a defensive rebound, he’s great at just taking it and knifing his way full court to the basket. He’s a guy we gotta treat like Giannis [Antetokounmpo] and [Damian] Lillard and guys like that that are full court, high speed attackers. He really had a high impact on the game yesterday.”
