New York’s first trip to the conference finals since 2000 is shaping up to be a short one. The starting unit has put the Knicks into quick deficits in both games and the Pacers’ huge depth advantage may have worn down the Knicks and led to their shaky play in both fourth quarters.Coach Tom Thibodeau played backup center Mitchell Robinson longer than All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns in Game 2 for better hope of stopping the Pacers, but that weakened his team offensively. The Knicks need to figure out the right combinations — if they have any — to both score with and slow down the Pacers.

“For me, what I want to say to them is obviously we’ve got to continue to fight,” Brunson said, when asked his message. “It’s going to take one day at a time, one game at a time. We can’t look ahead, we can’t think about anything other than Game 3 at this point.”The All-Star point guard has done his part, scoring 43 points in Game 1 and adding 36 more along with 11 assists in Game 2. But the Knicks went cold when he was on the bench to start the final 12 minutes and that turned out to be the decisive stretch of the game.The Pacers don’t have those problems. Carlisle can go deep into his bench — even for players who hadn’t been in his recent rotation — and Indiana remains just as effective.

Carlisle has continuously called this a 13-day series, referring to the stretch between Game 1 and a potential Game 7 in New York on June 2. After tying K.C. Jones for 10th place on the career list with his 81st postseason victory Friday, he was still thinking that way.“It’s Day 3 of 13 days and no one’s getting ahead of themselves,” he said. “There’s a lot of work to do.”
