00:00On Sunday night, Knicks won Game 3, 106-100.
00:05Once again, rallied from 20 points down on the road to get it done.
00:11And Cat was a big reason why.
00:13Of course, Cat and Brunson were in some foul trouble.
00:15Cat had 24 points, 20 of them in the fourth.
00:18He had 15 boards.
00:20Here it is, some Cat fourth quarter work on TNT.
00:24Here is Brunson.
00:26Got it on, locked right now.
00:37Here's the three, little step back.
00:40In fact, it's been the worst five-man lineup in the league in the playoffs.
00:44Bridges double-turns, cutting, and jackhammers.
00:49And New York's got the lead.
00:52What a comeback.
00:52Oh, I thought that Tomahawk, Main Street throwdown was the turning point for them to finish off the Pacers.
01:04I thought that was a thunderous crank and won.
01:08And he meant business.
01:10Let's give the big bodega credit here.
01:12He took over the game in the fourth quarter by himself.
01:1620 points in the fourth, that's no joke.
01:20When you're able to do that and to throw the team on the back, especially with what was going on with Brunson and him having all the foul trouble that he was having, Cat stepped up in a very big way for the Knicks.
01:31Here is Brunson and Cat from after the game the other night.
01:36Bouncing back and responding had to be done.
01:39Yeah, it's an emotional game.
01:43It's a long game.
01:45Things can happen.
01:46Things can not go your way.
01:48And you can easily, obviously, crash out or you can respond the right way.
01:54Crash out.
01:55I love that.
01:56That's what came to mind.
01:57But I got people in my corner, people on this team who believe in me and believe in us.
02:06And so just the conversation that we have as a team and the encouragement, everything we do is important, especially throughout a 48-minute game.
02:14And so I continue to believe.
02:17Yeah.
02:17Listen, I didn't think he did anything in that game.
02:21He was in massive foul trouble.
02:23I thought Hart and Bridges came up huge.
02:26I thought Shamit's minutes were well-served.
02:30He only had three, but it didn't matter.
02:31That wasn't his job.
02:32He took a charge.
02:35You know, I think that, you know, Bridges played great.
02:38He had 15.
02:40And, you know, this team just did it.
02:43It was unbelievable.
02:45Third time, twice against Boston and once against the Pacers, to have 20-point comebacks three times all on the road
02:54is really the definition of insanity.
02:57That's insanity.
02:59Because I'm watching this game, and I mean to tell you, I was losing my mind.
03:02I was cussing, screaming.
03:04I blamed the refs.
03:05I thought it was horrible.
03:06The first half, I was like, you know, just make it fair.
03:09Like, call it both ways.
03:10Because, like, I was seeing, you know, screen bump fouls, and then the other team, you know,
03:17so Pacers getting all these screen bumps, you know, hit the guy on the screen, you're getting a call.
03:22And then on the other end, they're doing it, and they're not getting any calls.
03:26I saw bump fouls, guys driving, getting bumped, getting a call with Indy.
03:30Nick's driving, getting bumped, no call.
03:33I was having problems with the disparity between the two teams.
03:37It was 18-10 in free throws.
03:40It was, there was a disparity in the foul calls.
03:43That was in the first half.
03:45And so, for me, at that point, I was losing my mind.
03:48They're down 20, getting their ass beat.
03:51I thought the calls were terrible.
03:52I was cussing, screaming, and yelling.
03:54In the second half, they did what I've always said, win in spite of the refs.
03:59Just, you gotta win in spite of the refs.
04:01The difference was, they just started knocking down shots and getting stops,
04:06and then scoring, and scoring, and scoring, and scoring, and then getting rebounds.
04:11I told you, a guy told me, rebounds don't matter.
04:13I'm like, go to hell.
04:15Go to hell.
04:16To me, rebounds are everything.
04:18It's the second, third attempts.
04:20When you get, I saw it last night, the Thunder getting three and four rebounds,
04:26or even the T-Wolves getting three and four rebounds,
04:29and getting three and four attempts per trip down.
04:33You've gotta get rebounds.
04:36Secure the rebound.
04:37Nobody gets a second chance.
04:39You win games.
04:41Get stops.
04:42Create buckets.
04:43Get rebounds.
04:44Get transition game going.
04:46It's real simple to me.
04:47I'll be right back.
