Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau showed his displeasure after his second unit blew a 10-point lead in the final 6:09 of a 109-100 loss to the Pacers.
INDIANAPOLIS — The defeat didn’t count, but it mattered to Tom Thibodeau.
The backups struggled all evening, blowing a 12-point lead created by the starters in the first half and then choking away a 10-point edge in the fourth quarter. They had no answer for the Pacers’ reserves down the stretch, on the wrong end of a 25-6 run as rookie Benn Mathurin took over. “That was the biggest thing, we didn’t really know what to do in that situation,” Hartenstein said. “We didn’t play hard enough. I don’t think we were in the right position.”
Reddish, who is unlikely to be part of the rotation once the regular season begins, struggled. He scored 10 points on 3-for-10 shooting, failed to get back on defense on a few occasions and recorded a team-worst, minus-22 rating. But it wasn’t about one player, Thibodeau fumed after the loss.
